Summary:
The SIATech District consists of a single public charter high school, SIATech, serving grades 10-12 with a total enrollment of 743 students. While the school has a diverse student population, it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California high schools and received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant academic and operational challenges.
SIATech's performance is particularly concerning, with a very low four-year graduation rate of just 13.5% and an alarmingly high dropout rate of 84.1%. Academically, the school's students are performing significantly below the state average, with proficiency rates less than half the state average in core subjects like English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science. This suggests a need for substantial academic interventions and support to help students succeed.
The data also reveals that SIATech serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 90.44% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's challenges and underscores the importance of providing comprehensive support and resources to address the unique needs of its student community. Overall, the insights paint a concerning picture of SIATech's performance and the significant work required to improve educational outcomes for its students.
