Summary

Method Schools LA is an alternative K–12 school in Temecula, California, with 227 students. Its latest results show a mix of strengths and challenges, but the most important concern is that low chronic absenteeism has not translated into strong completion outcomes: in 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 6%, while graduation was 66%—22 points below the state—and dropout was 21%, 13 points above it.

In 2025–2026, the school was stronger in math and science than in ELA. Math results were 47%, compared with 38% statewide and a 40% average among four nearby schools; science was 52%, versus 36% statewide and a 44% nearby-school average. ELA was 47%, below both the state’s 49% and the nearby-school average of 58%. Among those four nearby schools, Method Schools LA ranked lowest in ELA, second in math, and highest in science. The grade-level picture is uneven, too: eighth-grade science was 58%, higher than the nearby results, while eighth-grade ELA was 33%, below every nearby school with results.

Scores have risen substantially since 2022–2023: ELA increased 13 points, math 34 points, and science 38 points by 2025–2026. Progress was not steady: ELA fell 2 points from the prior year, while math rose 2 and science rose 17. The school’s 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 14, the second-lowest among nearby schools with reported figures, compared with their average of 20. Its 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible figure was 51%, near the middle of the nearby range of 16%–63%. SchoolDigger rankings and star ratings, and district test results for the school, were not provided.
