Summary:
Zip code 92233 in Calipatria, California, contains one public high school, Calipatria High, serving grades 9-12 within the Calipatria Unified district.
Calipatria High presents a mixed performance profile with a significant strength in its 93.8% graduation rate, which is well above the state average. However, this success contrasts with generally low scores on state standardized tests, particularly in mathematics where only 14.9% of students are proficient, a rate lower than both the state and the Calipatria Unified district averages. Science scores show wide variability by grade, with 12th graders outperforming the state average but 10th graders showing 0% proficiency, indicating inconsistency across grade levels.
The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, and chronic absenteeism, at 26%, is higher than both district and state averages. It's important to note the school operates with a high per-student expenditure and serves a population where over 83% of students are economically disadvantaged. The key takeaway is that while the school effectively supports students to graduation, there are clear challenges in core academic achievement and student attendance that are reflected in its test scores and declining rank.
