Summary

Wonderful College Prep Academy is an alternative school in Delano serving 1,080 students in grades K–12, within the Kern County Office of Education. Its reported graduation and dropout figures are strong: in 2025–2026, 99% of students graduated and the reported dropout rate was 0%, compared with 88% and 8% statewide. The most important academic finding is that ELA was essentially at the state level, while math and science were below it.

Overall results show a clear strength relative to the district, but a mixed picture compared with the state. In 2025–2026, ELA was 49% at Wonderful and 49% statewide; math was 31% versus 38%, and science was 30% versus 36%. Wonderful was ahead of the district in all three subjects: by 17 points in ELA, 19 in math, and 4 in science. Within grades, grade 11 ELA stood out at 73%, compared with 57% statewide, while grade 5 and grade 8 math were weaker, trailing the state by 15 and 14 points. California Online Public Schools Central Valley has 729 students and McFarland Independent has 23, but the supplied data do not support comparing current test results across these schools: one school’s scores are from an earlier year and the other’s are suppressed.

The supplied test results cover only 2025–2026, so they do not show whether academic performance is improving. Graduation was 100% in 2024–2025 and 99% in 2025–2026, a decline of 1 point; the dropout rate was 0% in both years. Chronic absenteeism was 13% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 18% and the district’s 20%. SchoolDigger’s rank and star rating for Wonderful are not supplied. Its student–teacher ratio is 25.4, but that figure is from 2017–2018; the nearby schools’ reported ratios are from different years or unavailable, so they do not provide a reliable current comparison. Wonderful’s low-income measure is not reported in the supplied data.
