Summary:
The Shandon Joint Unified school district has only one high school, Shandon High, which serves a relatively small student population of 86 students. The school's performance has been below average, with a statewide ranking that has fluctuated in recent years and an overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Shandon High struggles, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science significantly lower than the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.2% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 15.8% is higher than the state average. Additionally, Shandon High has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.6%, which is a concerning issue that may be impacting the school's overall performance.
The high percentage of students (61.63%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Shandon High suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, which may contribute to the lower academic performance and higher dropout rates. Addressing these socioeconomic challenges, as well as the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism, could be crucial steps in improving the educational outcomes for students at Shandon High.
