Summary:
The EPIC de Cesar Chavez District in Tehachapi, California, consists of a single high school, EPIC de Cesar Chavez, serving grades 9 through 12 with an enrollment of 614 students.
This school faces significant challenges across several key areas of student success. Academic proficiency is very low, with only 3% of students meeting science standards, and the school consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of all schools in California. More critically, student engagement metrics are alarming: the chronic absenteeism rate is over 91%, meaning the vast majority of students miss a substantial amount of school, and the graduation rate is reported at just 13.8% with a correspondingly high dropout rate.
These interconnected issues of low attendance, low academic achievement, and low graduation suggest systemic challenges that require comprehensive support. While per-student spending is near the state average, the extreme nature of these metrics indicates that the school is in need of significant intervention and resources to improve student outcomes and provide a more effective learning environment for its community.
