Summary:
The 95117 zip code area in California is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools (Discovery Charter, Lynhaven Elementary, and Leroy Anderson Elementary) and 1 high school (Boynton High). While the schools in this area serve diverse student populations, the data reveals stark contrasts in academic performance, attendance, and other key metrics, with Discovery Charter emerging as the standout school in the region.
Discovery Charter, a public charter school serving grades K-8, consistently ranks in the top 20% of California elementary schools and outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In contrast, the other elementary schools in the area, Lynhaven Elementary and Leroy Anderson Elementary, have significantly lower academic proficiency rates, especially in Mathematics. The lone high school, Boynton High, also struggles, with very low proficiency rates, a high dropout rate, and an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 74%.
The data suggests that the quality of education can vary significantly even within a relatively small geographic area, with Discovery Charter serving a more diverse and affluent student population compared to the other schools in the 95117 zip code. Addressing the challenges faced by the underperforming schools, particularly in terms of attendance, academic achievement, and equity, should be a priority for the local Discovery Charter District, Campbell Union, Moreland, and Campbell Union High school districts.
