Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
The elementary schools average 26.7/100 — 12.2 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.
5 elementary schools span 15 points around an average of 26.7.
Washington Elementary is the strongest option at 35/100 — 15.3% of its students exceed the state standard.
21.3% of students are chronically absent (state: 17.9%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
The middle years
The middle schools average 31.5/100 — 7.1 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.
All 2 middle schools land within 8 points — the average is a fair summary here.
Winship Middle is the strongest option at 36/100 — 11.8% of its students exceed the state standard.
28.8% of students are chronically absent (state: 18.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
The high school years
The path ends on a single bet: Eureka Senior High at 52, then a 29-point drop to the next of 2 high schools.
2 high schools span 29 points around an average of 37.2.
1 continuation/alternative school not plotted — it ranks within its own class, not on this statewide axis.
Eureka Senior High is the strongest option at 52/100 — 14.7% of its students exceed the state standard.
47.3% of students are chronically absent (state: 23.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Washington Elementary at 35/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
1 of the 9 ranked schools is a charter — enrollment paths that don't depend on your address. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, those lotteries and applications are the levers worth the paperwork.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — 1 campus here ranks as On the Rise, its aggregate cohort-change indices above the published threshold. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.
