Summary:
The Altus Schools Mirus Charter District consists of a single charter high school, Altus Schools Mirus Charter, which serves grades 7 through 12 in Hesperia, California.
This school serves a student population where a high percentage qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and it has shown a positive trend of improvement in its statewide ranking over the last three years. While its chronic absenteeism rate is better than the state average, academic performance, particularly in mathematics where only 15% of students are proficient, lags significantly behind California averages. The school's graduation rate is notably low compared to the state, though its dropout rate is slightly better, suggesting complex challenges in student retention and completion.
Despite these academic challenges, there are pockets of relative strength, such as in 10th-grade science where students outperform the state average. The school operates with a high student-teacher ratio despite a per-student spending level that is substantial, indicating resources may be directed to areas beyond classroom staffing. For parents, this school represents an option with a unique grade configuration that is showing gradual improvement but requires significant support in core academic areas and graduation pathways for its students.
