Summary:
The Sherman Thomas Charter High District in Madera, California, contains a single, very small high school, Sherman Thomas Charter High, serving 69 students with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.1 to 1.
This school shows a clear pattern of improvement, having moved from the middle to the top 40% of California high schools over the past three years. It excels notably in English Language Arts, where student proficiency significantly outpaces the state average, and it boasts a strong 94.4% graduation rate. However, performance in Mathematics and Science is below state averages, presenting a key area for growth.
For parents, the school offers a personalized environment with a track record of helping students graduate successfully, though attention to math and science skills may be needed. With over 60% of students facing economic disadvantages, the school's achievements in English and graduation are commendable. The slightly higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate suggests that improving daily attendance could be one pathway to raising achievement across all subjects.
