Summary:
The Altus Schools Mirus Charter District in Hesperia, California, contains a single high school, Altus Schools Mirus Charter, which serves students in grades 7 through 12 with a total enrollment of 292.
This school shows a clear pattern of strengths and challenges for parents to consider. Academically, it has a notable strength in 10th-grade Science, where students outperform the state average, and it maintains a lower rate of chronic student absenteeism than the state. However, performance in Mathematics is significantly below state averages, and English Language Arts and overall Science proficiency also lag behind. Despite these academic struggles, the school's statewide ranking has shown consistent improvement over the last three years.
Key areas of concern include a very low graduation rate of 51.3%, which is far below the state average, even though its student dropout rate is near the state norm. The school operates with a high student-to-teacher ratio of 29-to-1, which is above typical recommendations, despite per-student spending being above the national average. For families, the improving ranking trend and strong attendance record are positive signs, but the low graduation rate and math performance are significant factors to weigh.
