Summary

Tri-C Community Day is a small public high school serving 231 students in grades 7-12 in downtown Los Angeles, operating as a "Community Day" school within the Los Angeles Unified district, which typically serves students who have faced significant educational challenges.

The school faces profound difficulties, with academic proficiency rates far below district and state averages—only about 17% of students are proficient in English and just over 5% in math and science. More critically, chronic absenteeism affects 85.4% of students, and the graduation rate is 34.5% with a 38.2% dropout rate, metrics that are dramatically worse than the district and state. Despite these outcomes, the school spends over $24,600 per student, which is higher than the district average and many nearby schools.

This school serves a uniquely vulnerable population, and its extreme metrics reflect that challenging mission. However, comparisons with other local schools are striking: nearby options like Early College Academy-LA Trade Technical College and Orthopaedic Hospital serve similar student demographics but achieve near-perfect graduation rates, much lower absenteeism, and far higher academic success. This contrast shows that while Tri-C Community Day addresses critical needs, its current model yields results significantly lower than other schools in the area serving students with similar backgrounds.
