Summary:
The Clear Passage Educational Center District in Long Beach, California, consists of a single, very small high school, Clear Passage Educational Center, serving only 59 students in grades 9 through 12.
This school serves a student population with very high economic need, with nearly 95% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and it faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English and math far below state averages. A critical area of concern is student outcomes, as recent data shows an extremely low graduation rate coupled with a very high dropout rate, suggesting the school may be serving students who have struggled in traditional educational settings. Interestingly, the rate of chronic absenteeism at the school is slightly better than the state average.
Despite having a relatively high level of per-student spending, the school has an unusually high student-to-teacher ratio, which likely impacts the level of individual support students receive. The extreme nature of these metrics indicates that Clear Passage Educational Center likely plays a specialized role in the educational system, potentially serving as an alternative for vulnerable students, and its performance should be considered within that specific context.
