Summary:
The Alpha Cindy Avitia High District in San Jose, California, consists of a single high school, Alpha Cindy Avitia High, serving grades 9 through 12 with an enrollment of about 405 students.
This school faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency rates in core subjects far below the California state averages; notably, only 4.4% of students are proficient in mathematics compared to 37.3% statewide. Despite these low scores, the school maintains a graduation rate of 91.5%, which is a positive indicator of student persistence and support systems. However, a chronic absenteeism rate of 33.8%, much higher than the state average, is a major concern that likely impacts learning.
While the school benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student, these resources have not yet translated into stronger academic outcomes, and the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years. For parents, this indicates a school with dedicated resources and a strong commitment to seeing students graduate, but one that is actively working to improve fundamental academic achievement and daily attendance.
