San Joaquin County Special Education

Public, Alternative Grades K-12

Summary

San Joaquin County Special Education is an alternative public school in Stockton, California that serves 838 students from kindergarten through 12th grade. This school faces significant challenges in supporting its high-needs student population, as evidenced by its consistently low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and poor academic achievement on state assessments.

Despite spending a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $64,255 to $73,197 per year, San Joaquin County Special Education has had graduation rates as low as 4.5% and dropout rates as high as 29.8% in recent years. The school's proficiency rates on state tests are also extremely low, ranging from just 2.94% to 10.53% proficient or better, which is significantly below county and state averages. Additionally, the school experiences high chronic absenteeism, with rates between 20.4% and 50.6%.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as San Joaquin County Community, John F. Cruikshank Junior, and Venture Academy, have similar demographic profiles and performance metrics to San Joaquin County Special Education, suggesting that there may be broader systemic issues within the San Joaquin County Office of Education that need to be addressed to improve student outcomes across the district.
