Summary:
The Matrix for Success Academy District has one high school, Matrix for Success Academy, serving grades 9–12 with 259 students. Its reported graduation, dropout, and chronic absenteeism rates are all less favorable than the state’s: 47% graduated versus 88% statewide, 53% dropped out versus 8%, and 40% were chronically absent versus 18%. The most urgent concern is persistence: the graduation and dropout figures point to substantial challenges in students reaching graduation.
There is no other school in the area to identify as a top or bottom performer; the school’s results are best understood against state figures. In 2025–26, its all-grades results were 22% in English language arts (ELA), 8% in math, and 6% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38%, and 36%—gaps of 27, 30, and 30 percentage points. Its simple average across the three subjects was 12%, versus 41% statewide. Grade-matched results also fell short: 11th-grade ELA was 22% versus 57% statewide, 11th-grade math was 8% versus 32%, and 12th-grade science was 6% versus 33%. Because the area has only one school, these figures cannot show how it compares with other local schools.
Scores improved most in math and science, though they remain well below state results. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, math rose from 0% to 8% and science from 2% to 6%; ELA was nearly unchanged, at 22% in both years when rounded. The school’s three-subject average rose from 8% to 12%, narrowing its average gap with the state by 3 points. SchoolDigger’s rank improved from 1,926 of 2,162 schools in 2024–25 to 1,706 of 2,137 in 2025–26; its reported percentile rose from 11 to 20, while its rating remained 1 star. The student–teacher ratio is 19.2. The school reported that 92% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25; California is marked as a state where all students receive free meals, so this measure is useful context, not a directly comparable state figure.
