Summary:
The 93103 zip code area of Santa Barbara, California is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school. This diverse set of schools includes 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, with a student population that is predominantly Hispanic.
Among the standout schools in this area is Franklin Elementary, which consistently outperforms the Santa Barbara Unified district and California state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments. In contrast, Santa Barbara Junior High and Cleveland Elementary struggle to meet district and state standards, highlighting the disparity in academic performance across the schools in this area. The lone high school, Santa Barbara Senior High, stands out with a strong 93.4% four-year graduation rate, though its test scores, particularly in Mathematics, are lower than the district and state averages.
The Adelante Charter school in the 93103 zip code offers a unique approach, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students and the inclusion of Spanish language assessments. While its test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, this bilingual approach provides valuable insights into the academic progress of students in a dual-language environment. Across the schools, high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 32.9%, may be contributing to the lower academic performance and are an area of concern that requires targeted interventions.
