Summary

Crossroads Charter Academy is a small, K-12 public charter school in Hanford, CA, serving 141 students within the Armona Union Elementary district, and it stands out for its exceptional success in keeping students engaged and guiding them to graduation.

This school's greatest strengths are its high graduation rate and remarkably low rate of chronic student absences. With an 86.2% graduation rate, it far exceeds its district's average and is competitive with the state, while its 7.1% chronic absenteeism rate is less than half the state average. This is a significant achievement, especially when compared to other local alternative schools like Kings Valley Academy II, which has much lower graduation and higher absenteeism rates.
