Summary:
The Altus Schools Charter School of San Diego District contains a single, large charter high school, Altus Schools Charter School of San Diego, which serves grades 6 through 12 and enrolls over 1,375 students.
Parents should be aware that this school faces significant academic challenges, with student performance notably below state averages, especially in mathematics where proficiency is less than half the state rate. While 11th-grade English scores are close to the state average, the school's overall statewide ranking has declined over recent years. A critical area of concern is the graduation rate, which, at less than 48%, is dramatically lower than the state average of 87.5%, coupled with higher-than-average dropout and chronic absenteeism rates.
Despite spending more per student than the state average, the school operates with a very high student-to-teacher ratio, which may impact individual student support. The data suggests families should closely examine the school's support systems for student engagement and mathematics instruction, as these are key areas needing improvement for student success.
