There is no second school in the list, so none can be identified as a local top or bottom performer. Compared with California, Academy of Careers and Exploration had 58% proficiency in ELA versus 49% statewide, and 37% in science versus 36%. Math proficiency was 20%, compared with 38% statewide. Other outcomes also differ: the school’s graduation rate was 97% versus 88% statewide, and its dropout rate was 2% versus 8%; however, chronic absenteeism was 32%, compared with 18% statewide. These figures show strong graduation and dropout results alongside an attendance concern.
Recent academic changes are encouraging in ELA and science, but not in math.
