Summary:

Learning Post Academy (Alternative) is a public virtual high school serving grades 7-12 in the William S. Hart Union High School District in Santa Clarita, California, with 385 students.

The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 154 out of 2,133 California high schools in 2018-2019 to a low of 739 out of 2,323 in 2023-2024. However, it maintains strong four-year graduation rates, ranging from 92.3% to 99.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the nearby Bowman (Jereann) High continuation school. Learning Post Academy (Alternative)'s dropout rates have also been lower than nearby schools, but the school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 39.0% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the rates at traditional high schools like Saugus High and Valencia High.

In terms of academic performance, Learning Post Academy (Alternative)'s test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the nearby traditional high schools, as well as the district and state averages. The school also serves a more diverse student population, with higher percentages of Hispanic and low socioeconomic status students compared to the nearby traditional high schools, and the school's rankings for these student subgroups are generally lower than the overall school ranking, indicating achievement gaps that need to be addressed.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
