High Schools in Opportunities for Learning - Baldwin Park District

This analysis covers the single high school, Opportunities for Learning - Baldwin Park, serving grades 7-12 within the Opportunities for Learning - Baldwin Park District.

Opportunities for Learning - Baldwin Park presents a complex picture with notable strengths and significant challenges. Academically, the school excels in English Language Arts, where student proficiency surpasses the California state average. However, performance in mathematics and science is substantially below state averages. The school has shown a positive trend, consistently improving its statewide ranking over the last three years.

Key areas of concern are student engagement and outcomes. The school reports very high chronic absenteeism and alarmingly low graduation rates paired with high dropout rates, which are dramatically different from statewide figures. These metrics suggest the school may serve a unique, high-need student population, possibly as an alternative education setting. While operating with limited per-student funding and a high student-teacher ratio, the school's improving academic standing indicates recent efforts are having a positive effect, though major work remains to support student retention and success across all subjects.
