Summary:
The San Diego Workforce Innovation High District contains a single, large alternative high school, San Diego Workforce Innovation High, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of over 2,700 students.
This school faces significant challenges, with academic proficiency rates well below state averages, particularly in mathematics where only 7.6% of students are proficient. Student outcomes are concerning, with a graduation rate of 22.6% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 59.4%, indicating major barriers to student engagement and success. The school's state ranking has consistently placed it in the bottom quartile of California high schools for the past three years.
Despite spending above the state average per student, the school struggles with a high student-teacher ratio of 26-to-1. The data suggests families should investigate the specific support programs and career-focused model offered to understand if it aligns with their student's needs, given the school's unique profile and the substantial gap between its resources and its current outcomes.
