Summary:
The Altus Schools South Bay District in Chula Vista contains a single high school, Altus Schools South Bay, which serves grades 7 through 12 with an enrollment of 372 students.
This school presents a mixed academic picture with some notable strengths and significant challenges. While its 11th graders perform well in science and close to the state average in English, mathematics proficiency is a critical area of concern, with the school's rate of 10% being far below the state average. The school's graduation rate is also considerably lower than the state average. On a positive note, student chronic absenteeism is better than the state average, and the school maintains a 3-star rating.
With over three-quarters of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a population with high economic need. The student-teacher ratio is notably high at nearly 34-to-1. For parents, the key considerations are the school's severe struggle with mathematics achievement, particularly in the middle grades, against the backdrop of its relative strength in upper-grade science and its better-than-average attendance rates.
