Summary

Century Academy is a small, K-12 alternative school of 237 students in Thousand Oaks, part of the high-performing Conejo Valley Unified school district.

The school stands out for its strong results, including a 95.6% graduation rate that is higher than both the district and state averages, and test scores that consistently beat state averages in core subjects. Key factors in this success are its small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.9, and significantly higher per-student spending compared to most nearby alternative schools. When compared to other options, Century Academy's graduation rate is notably higher and its dropout rate is lower than many large, online California Virtual Academy schools, which often have much larger class sizes and serve a different student population.

Despite its strengths, the school faces a notable challenge with chronic student absenteeism, which is more than double the district's rate. Academic performance can also vary between grade levels, with science scores being a relative area for improvement compared to other subjects. Overall, Century Academy represents a well-resourced, in-person alternative model that achieves strong outcomes for its students, distinct from the virtual school options in the region.
