This school faces significant challenges, with academic proficiency rates in English, math, and science falling well below California state averages and a state ranking in the 4th percentile. A particularly concerning metric is the chronic absenteeism rate of 33.3%, which is substantially higher than the state average and is a known barrier to student success. The school also operates with a high student-teacher ratio of 34-to-1 and serves a student population where over 80% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Over the past three years, the school's performance relative to others in the state has declined, moving from a 1-star to a 0-star rating. The Voices College-Bound Lang Academy @ W. Contra Costa County district itself is ranked in the 1st percentile statewide. While there are steep challenges, a slight upward trend in English proficiency in the upper grades suggests some areas of potential growth within the school's college-preparatory model.
