Summary:
The Alameda Community Learning Center District contains a single charter school, the Alameda Community Learning Center, which serves grades 6 through 12 with 362 students.
This school shows a clear pattern of academic strength in the middle school grades, with 8th graders performing well above state averages in English, math, and science. However, performance declines notably by 11th grade, where students score at or below state averages in these core subjects. This trend coincides with a significant drop in the school's statewide ranking over the past two years, moving from the 88th to the 55th percentile. Parents should note the school's 89.7% graduation rate and that it spends over $16,000 per student.
Key areas for families to consider include the school's higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 22% and the notable performance dip in high school. The school's structure as a single-campus district serving grades 6-12 offers continuity, but the data suggests the transition to upper grades may present challenges. The recent ranking decline warrants attention to understand whether it reflects a temporary change or a longer-term trend.
