Summary

Carter G. Woodson Public Charter is a 7th-12th grade high school serving 364 students in Fresno, California, operating within its own Carter G. Woodson Public Charter District.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with only 11% of students proficient in English and 2% proficient in Math, placing it in the bottom quartile of California high schools. Chronic absenteeism at 34% is nearly double the state average, and the graduation rate of 76% trails the state by about 10 points. This performance is notably lower than nearby schools with similar student populations, such as McLane High, and starkly contrasts with top-performing local charters like Career Technical Education Charter and Design Science Middle College High.

Interesting findings show that while the school spends over $20,000 per student—more than some higher-performing neighbors—how resources are used appears critical. The school struggles most in the middle school grades, and its effectiveness for specific student subgroups has been inconsistent. The data strongly suggests that improving attendance is a key area for potential growth, as schools like Erma Duncan Polytechnical High with better attendance have stronger outcomes.
