Alessandro

Public, Alternative Grades K-12

Summary

Alessandro is an alternative public school in Moreno Valley, California that serves grades KG-12, with a total enrollment of 63 students. The school is part of the Moreno Valley Unified School District, which is ranked 1275 out of 1565 school districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alessandro faces significant challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 50.0% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is much higher than the district and state averages of 27.8% and 20.4%, respectively. Academically, the school's performance is also a major concern, with 0% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 35.11% and 19.24% for the district, and 48.81% and 37.3% for the state. Additionally, Alessandro has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78.57% to 94% over the past few years, indicating a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students.

When comparing Alessandro to nearby schools, some interesting findings emerge. For example, Moreno Valley Online Academy, a virtual school within the same district, has significantly better academic performance, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism rates than Alessandro. This suggests that the online learning model may be more effective for some students than the traditional alternative school setting. Additionally, other alternative and special education schools in the region, such as San Bernardino County Special Education and Riverside County Juvenile Court, also struggle with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates, indicating that the challenges faced by Alessandro may be systemic issues within the alternative and special education school systems.
