The 93109 zip code area in Santa Barbara, California is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 alternative school. The data reveals stark performance differences between these schools, with Washington Elementary consistently outperforming the other schools in the area, particularly McKinley Elementary, which struggles across multiple metrics.
Washington Elementary stands out as the top-performing school, with the highest overall test scores compared to the Santa Barbara Unified district and California state averages.

While it has a higher 4-year graduation rate compared to the state average, it also has a higher dropout rate and lower test scores. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the disparities and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the 93109 zip code area.
