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 call to parents not responding to notices.
Counselor works with students when 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.
