Summary:
The zip code 92233 in Calipatria, CA, is served by three public schools within the Calipatria Unified district, providing education from elementary through high school in a community with very high economic need.
Among these schools, Calipatria High stands out for its strong 93.8% graduation rate, which is above the state average, and for matching the state average in English Language Arts proficiency. Bill E. Young Junior Middle has the lowest rate of chronic student absenteeism in the area. Fremont Primary, the elementary school, has the highest student-to-teacher ratio and serves the population with the greatest economic need.
Overall, the schools face significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics and science where proficiency rates are well below state averages. Despite higher-than-average per-student spending at some schools, this investment has not yet translated to stronger test scores. However, the high graduation rate at the high school indicates effective student support systems. For parents, the data suggests examining each school's specific strengths, such as the high school's success in graduating students and the middle school's better attendance, while being aware of the district-wide struggle to improve standardized test performance.
