Best Public Schools in Zip Code 93560


Summary:

The 93560 zip code area is home to 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Southern Kern Unified School District. While the district as a whole struggles, with a 1 out of 5 star rating, a few schools in this area stand out. Westpark Elementary has the highest performance, with test scores above the district and state averages. The Rosamond High Early College Campus also shines, with the highest graduation rate and lowest dropout rate among the high schools.

However, the data reveals significant challenges across the schools in this area. Chronic absenteeism rates are alarmingly high, ranging from 26.3% at Westpark Elementary to over 90% at Rare Earth High (Continuation). Test scores are generally low, with most schools performing well below state averages. The high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 77.66% to 94.19%, suggest these schools serve a predominantly low-income population, which likely contributes to the overall lower performance.

The data also highlights the unique challenges faced by alternative and continuation schools, such as Abraham Lincoln Alternative, which have much higher absenteeism, dropout rates, and lower test scores compared to the traditional public schools. Addressing the root causes of absenteeism and providing targeted support for these specialized schools should be priorities for the Southern Kern Unified School District.
