Summary:
The Education Corps District in Long Beach, California, consists of a single high school serving 278 students in grades 9 through 12.
This analysis reveals that The Education Corps faces significant challenges. Academic proficiency is critically low, with 0% of students proficient in math and only 1.79% proficient in English, far below state averages. Furthermore, the school has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 80.6%, meaning most students miss 10% or more of the school year, and a student-teacher ratio of 41-to-1, which is much higher than the state average and limits individual attention.
These factors contribute to concerning student outcomes, including a 28.2% graduation rate and a 34.7% dropout rate. While the school serves a high-need population, with over 91% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, its performance has remained in the bottom 10-15% of California schools for several years. A relative strength is seen in science, where proficiency, though still low at 15.38%, is higher than in other core subjects, suggesting an area that could be built upon.
