Summary:
The 95627 zip code in California is home to three schools - Esparto Elementary, Esparto High, and Esparto Middle - all part of the Esparto Unified district. While these schools serve the local community, the data reveals they are facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and socioeconomic factors.
Across all three schools, students are performing well below state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency. Esparto Elementary has particularly low proficiency rates, with only around 16% of students proficient or better in ELA and Math. Esparto High fares slightly better, with 52% proficient in 11th grade ELA, but only 10% in 11th grade Math. The schools also have high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 23.5% at Esparto Middle to 28.4% at Esparto High.
Socioeconomic challenges are prevalent, with 71.79% to 80.47% of students at these schools receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The racial makeup of the schools is predominantly Hispanic, raising questions about equity and whether all students are receiving equal educational opportunities. However, Esparto High stands out with a relatively high 96.4% 4-year graduation rate and a low 2.4% dropout rate, suggesting there may be some best practices to explore from this school.
