The school's four-year graduation rate of 79.4% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 20.5% is quite high.
The Ocosta ALE alternative school serves a smaller population of 14 students, with a predominantly White student body. While no statewide ranking or test score data is available for this school, its spending per student is the lowest among the three schools at $11,004. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.73% to 78.57% across the schools, suggests that these institutions serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the academic performance gaps observed.
