San Jose Conservation Corps Charter

Public, Charter Grades 12

Summary

San Jose Conservation Corps Charter is a public charter high school in San Jose, California that serves 176 students in grades 12. The school is part of the San Jose Conservation Corps Charter District, which is ranked 1297 out of 1565 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

San Jose Conservation Corps Charter faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, graduation rates, and student engagement. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of California high schools, with a statewide rank of 1743 out of 2309 schools in the 2024-2025 school year. Its four-year graduation rate has declined from 87.0% in 2021-2022 to just 52.0% in 2023-2024, which is significantly lower than the state average. The school also has a high dropout rate, ranging from 7.8% to 12.0% over the past few years, and a very high chronic absenteeism rate, from 20.4% to 66.1%. On standardized tests, such as the California Science Test, only 6.9% of 12th-grade students and end-of-course students were proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 28.02% and 32.65%, respectively.

While San Jose Conservation Corps Charter faces these challenges, the nearby schools, such as Kathleen MacDonald High, San Jose High, KIPP San Jose Collegiate, and Downtown College Prep - Alum Rock, generally outperform the school across various metrics. Interestingly, the school does provide effective support for its English Language Learner students, ranking 17 out of 1350 California high schools in this category. However, the school's high spending per student, ranging from $14,303 to $23,964, and relatively high student-teacher ratio, from 21.1 to 23.8, suggest that additional resources and strategies may be needed to improve overall student outcomes.
