Summary:
The 95608 zip code area of Carmichael, California is home to 16 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 2 alternative schools. This diverse set of educational institutions serves students from a range of socioeconomic and racial/ethnic backgrounds.
Among the standout schools in the area is California Montessori Project-San Juan Campuses, a public charter elementary/middle school that consistently ranks in the top 30% of California elementary schools. It boasts strong test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, and a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. Another high-performing school is Winston Churchill Middle, which ranks in the top 15% of California middle schools and has above-average test scores in both English and Math. In contrast, some schools like Starr King K-8 and Options for Youth-San Juan struggle with very low proficiency rates and high dropout rates, respectively.
The data reveals stark disparities in academic performance across the schools in the 95608 zip code, with a clear correlation between socioeconomic status and student outcomes. Schools with high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, such as Cameron Ranch Elementary and Coyle Avenue Elementary, tend to have the lowest test scores, graduation rates, and highest chronic absenteeism. This underscores the need for targeted interventions and equitable access to quality education for all students in the San Juan Unified district.
