Summary:
The 95454 zip code in California is home to two schools, Laytonville Elementary and Laytonville High, both of which serve students in the Laytonville Unified school district. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture of the academic performance and overall conditions at these schools, with both struggling to meet state standards and facing significant challenges.
Academically, both Laytonville Elementary and Laytonville High have very low proficiency rates on state assessments, well below the California averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 17.5% of Laytonville Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 12.4% in Math, compared to state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively. Laytonville High's performance is also concerning, with only 33.33% of 11th graders proficient or better in ELA and just 5.56% in Math, far below the state averages.
Beyond academic performance, both schools face significant challenges in other areas as well. They have extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, with Laytonville Elementary at 54.8% and Laytonville High at 59.6% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, both schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with over 68% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the data does not indicate any significant improvement in the schools' performance over the past few years, suggesting that addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach.
