The Ceres Unified School District has a comprehensive plan of early intervention with potential dropouts. Attendance clerks call absentees daily. If the absences continue, a second letter requires parents to contact the principal. Continued absences result in a third letter and may include a Student Success Team meeting. Attendance Outreach Worker makes home calls to parents not responding to notices.
Counselor works with student where appropriate.
Family is referred to local School Attendance Review Board when other interventions fail. Protective Service or Municipal Court may be employed. Each school year students in Ceres Unified School District are assessed by a norm-referenced test. The Stanford Achievement Test was administered to all students, grades 2-11. The data shows how district students achieve according to National Percentiles.
