Summary:

This analysis covers 16 schools in the Red Bluff, California area (zip code 96080), serving grades from elementary through high school, revealing a community with significant variation in academic performance and resources.

Parents will find standout schools like Bend Elementary, which achieves the highest test scores, and Berrendos Middle, the top middle school, both part of the higher-performing Antelope Elementary district. Red Bluff High also excels with a graduation rate above the state average. In contrast, schools like Vista Preparatory Academy and Salisbury High (Continuation) face considerable challenges with very low test scores and high chronic absenteeism.

Overall, schools in this area perform below state averages in English, math, and science, with mathematics being a particular area of concern. Smaller schools often show advantages in attendance and performance, while high per-student spending, as seen at Red Bluff Community Day, does not guarantee success. The data suggests that district-level practices in the Antelope Elementary district may offer valuable lessons for improvement across the community.
