Summary:
The 92220 zip code area of Banning, California is home to 9 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. While the majority of these schools are part of the Banning Unified district, one high school, Beaumont Middle College High, is part of the Beaumont Unified district and stands out as the top-performing school in the area.
Among the Banning Unified schools, Central Elementary and Hemmerling Elementary have the highest test scores, outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency. However, the majority of Banning Unified schools, including Banning High and Nicolet Middle, struggle to meet state benchmarks, with test scores significantly below the state average.
Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern, particularly at New Horizon High, which has an alarming 84% chronic absenteeism rate. This, combined with the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all schools, suggests that the schools in this area face socioeconomic challenges that likely contribute to their academic performance. Addressing these issues should be a priority for the district to improve student outcomes.
