Summary:
The 95620 zip code area in Dixon, California is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (1 regular high school and 1 continuation high school), and no alternative schools. The standout performer in this area is Dixon Montessori Charter, a public charter school that significantly outperforms the other schools across various metrics such as state-wide ranking, chronic absenteeism, and test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
While Dixon High, the regular public high school, also performs relatively well with a 96.5% four-year graduation rate, the Maine Prairie High continuation high school struggles with a much lower graduation rate of 39.5% and a high dropout rate of 41.9%. This stark difference in performance between the regular and continuation high schools is a notable finding.
The data also suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic performance, as the schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Anderson (Linford L.) Elementary, Gretchen Higgins Elementary, and Maine Prairie High, tend to have lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and lower state-wide rankings. This suggests that these schools may need additional support and resources to improve student outcomes.
