Summary:
The OCASA College Prep District contains a single public charter high school, OCASA College Prep, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 105 students. While the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 787th out of 2,348 California high schools in 2022-2023 to 1,037th out of 2,309 in 2024-2025, it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6.
Academically, OCASA College Prep has struggled, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science consistently below the state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.4% is also significantly higher than the state average, which may be a contributing factor to the academic underperformance. Additionally, the school serves a higher proportion of students from low-income families, with 38.1% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's challenges, OCASA College Prep spends $22,470 per student, which is higher than the state average. This suggests a focus on resource allocation, potentially including smaller class sizes, though the impact of this investment on student outcomes is unclear. Overall, the analysis of OCASA College Prep highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the school's academic and attendance-related issues and improve student outcomes.
