Summary:
The YouthBuild Charter School of California District contains a single high school, YouthBuild Charter School of California, which serves grades 9-12 in Los Angeles.
This school faces significant challenges, with academic proficiency rates far below state averages and alarmingly high rates of chronic absenteeism and students dropping out. Its performance has been consistently among the lowest in the state, though it showed a slight improvement in its statewide ranking from the 2023-2024 to the 2024-2025 school year. The student population is predominantly economically disadvantaged, with nearly 90% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite per-student spending that is above the California average, the school's outcomes indicate a severe need for intervention and support. The extreme gaps in performance and engagement suggest that families should seek detailed information about the specific programs and supports in place to help students succeed. Further investigation into the school's instructional strategies and student support systems is crucial for understanding its trajectory.
