Summary

College Bridge Academy is a 9–12 high school in Long Beach, California, serving 255 students. Its most urgent concern is attendance: chronic absenteeism reached 75% in 2024–2025, compared with 19% statewide.

Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: 28% of students were proficient in 2024–2025, the highest reported result among nearby schools and above their 14% average, though still below California’s 33%. Mathematics is the clearest academic weakness: proficiency was 0%, versus 37% statewide and a 13% nearby-school average; it tied for the lowest nearby result with The Education Corps. ELA proficiency was 21%, below the nearby average of 29% and state rate of 49%. No test-score benchmark is provided for College Bridge Academy District, so a district comparison is not available.

Attendance has worsened while the state rate declined: the school’s chronic absenteeism rose from 56% in 2022–2023 to 69% in 2023–2024 and 75% in 2024–2025, while the state fell from 25% to 19%. Graduation improved from 46% in 2021–2022 to 53% in 2023–2024, but remained 33 points below the state’s 86%; the school’s 19% dropout rate was 10 points above the state’s 9%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking improved from the 6th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 28th percentile and one star in 2024–2025. Its student–teacher ratio was 18.6, close to the nearby-school average of 24.3. The school reported 93% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; California is a statewide free-meals state. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a notable gap for African American students: the subgroup was at the 0th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with the school’s overall 28th percentile. The Hispanic Students subgroup rose from the 8th to the 42nd percentile between 2022–2023 and 2024–2025.
