Summary:
The San Diego Cooperative Charter District consists of a single K-8 charter school, San Diego Cooperative Charter, serving 454 students with a notably low chronic absenteeism rate far below the state average.
This school presents a strong overall environment for student engagement, with its most exceptional feature being student attendance; its chronic absenteeism rate of 4.9% is dramatically lower than the California average of 19.4%. Academically, the school performs close to state averages, with particular strengths in science, where it outperforms the state, and in English Language Arts for its 7th and 8th graders. It's important to note the school serves a diverse economic population, with over half of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Areas for attention include a recent downward trend in its statewide ranking and performance in lower grades (3-5) in both English and Math, which lags behind state averages. However, the school's charter status may provide flexibility to address these instructional areas while building on its clear successes in fostering consistent attendance and solid science education.
