Agnes J. Johnson Charter

Agnes J. Johnson Charter is an alternative public charter school located in Weott, California, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 89 students. As an alternative school, it likely caters to students who may have struggled in a traditional school setting or have unique educational needs.

The school faces some significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 20.4% to 63.2% over the past few years, well above the state average. Academically, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages, with particularly low proficiency rates in Mathematics, ranging from 7.69% to 35.09%. However, the school did perform better than the state in 5th grade ELA and End of Course ELA in 2024-2025. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.76% to 68.54%, suggesting a student population with a lower socioeconomic status.

Despite these challenges, the school's spending per student has increased over the years, from $8,444 in 2020-2021 to $18,648 in 2023-2024, likely due to the school's alternative nature and the need to provide specialized resources and support for its students. Additionally, the student-teacher ratio has improved, decreasing from 22.8 in 2021-2022 to 14.8 in 2023-2024, which may be beneficial for the school's student population. With the right interventions and support, the school may have the potential to improve student outcomes and better serve its community.
