Summary:
The OCASA College Prep District is a public school district that serves grades 6-12, with OCASA College Prep being the sole high school in the district. While OCASA College Prep is a public charter school, its performance metrics, such as test scores and chronic absenteeism rates, are generally below the state averages, indicating that it is not a standout school within the district or the state.
Over the past three years, OCASA College Prep's statewide school rank has declined, from 787 out of 2,348 California high schools in 2022-2023 to 1,037 out of 2,309 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments and the California Science Test (CAST) is mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average and others performing significantly below. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (38.1%), which is a proxy for low-income status.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $22,470 for the 2023-2024 school year, which is above the state average, the declining performance and mixed academic results indicate that there is room for improvement. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to help the school better serve its students and community.
