Summary:

This analysis covers seven schools in the Newman-Crows Landing Unified district (zip code 95360), including three elementary schools, one junior high, two high schools, and an alternative program, serving around 2,950 students in a district that ranks in the bottom quartile statewide.

Among these schools, Orestimba High stands out as the strongest performer, with a graduation rate of 98.7% and the lowest dropout rate, though its academic proficiency, while the best in the district, still trails state averages. Hurd Barrington Elementary shows the most improvement at the elementary level and has the lowest chronic absenteeism. In contrast, West Side Valley High (Continuation) and the Newman-Crows Landing Independent Study program face significant challenges with very high absenteeism and low academic performance.

Overall, the Newman-Crows Landing Unified district lags behind state averages in English, math, and science proficiency. A notable finding is the sharp decline in math scores at Yolo Junior High from 6th to 8th grade. There is also a wide variation in per-student spending, with Hunt Elementary receiving the highest funding despite its low ranking, suggesting a complex relationship between resources and outcomes in the area.
