El Dorado County Office of Educational Special Educational Programs

Public, Alternative Grades K-12

Summary

El Dorado County Office of Educational Special Educational Programs is an alternative public school located in Placerville, California that serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade, with a total enrollment of 194 students. While the school aims to provide specialized educational programs, the data reveals some concerning trends that parents should be aware of.

Compared to the nearby Placer County Court Schools and Placer County Pathways Charter, El Dorado County Office of Educational Special Educational Programs has seen a decline in its 4-year graduation rates, from 87.0% in 2021-2022 to 78.7% in 2023-2024, which is lower than the 86.4% graduation rate of the nearby Charter Community School Home Study Academy. Additionally, the school's dropout rate has increased from 7.8% in 2021-2022 to 14.8% in 2023-2024, higher than the 8.9% dropout rate of the nearby Charter Community School Home Study Academy.

Another area of concern is the school's chronic absenteeism, which has spiked from 12.4% in 2022-2023 to a concerning 46.0% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the 20.4% chronic absenteeism rate of the nearby Charter Community School Home Study Academy. Furthermore, the school has consistently performed poorly on standardized tests, with 0% of students proficient or better in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics in recent years, which is significantly lower than the performance of the El Dorado County Office of Education district and the state of California. While the school has a relatively high spending per student at $83,577 in 2023-2024, this raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.
