Summary:
The TEACH Technical Charter High District consists of a single public charter high school, TEACH Technical Charter High, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 410 students. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (67.56%) and African American (31.46%), and a significant majority (97.32%) of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite a 90.1% four-year graduation rate, TEACH Technical Charter High has faced declining performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 992 out of 1290 schools in 2020-2021 to 1223 out of 2335 schools in the current 2022-2023 school year. The school's academic performance is a concern, with only 56.47% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, 12.94% in Mathematics, and a mere 1.45% in Science, all of which are below the state averages.
Additionally, the school grapples with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 45.1%, which may be a contributing factor to its declining performance and ranking. Addressing these challenges, including the significant racial and socioeconomic disparities, low academic achievement in STEM subjects, and attendance issues, will be crucial for TEACH Technical Charter High to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for its diverse student population.
