Summary:

This school serves a student population with high economic need, with over 85% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While its statewide academic ranking has shown significant improvement in recent years, moving from the 32nd to the 49th percentile, student proficiency rates in English, math, and science remain below state averages. A notable bright spot is that 11th-grade English proficiency approaches the state average, suggesting some effective support for students who persist to upper grades.

These outcomes exist despite the school spending significantly more per student than the California average. The school operates with a high student-to-teacher ratio, which may impact individualized support for students who are often behind grade level or need flexible, alternative education options.
