Summary:
The city of Diamond Springs, California has only one public high school, Independence Continuation High School, which serves grades 9-12. This school is part of the El Dorado Union High School District, which is ranked 334 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.
Independence Continuation High School faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across all subject areas, high dropout rates, and alarmingly high chronic absenteeism. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 76.9% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 13.2% is much higher than the state average. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all well below the district and state averages, ranging from 0% to 30.19% proficient or better. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (57.14%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Overall, the data suggests that Independence Continuation High School is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. Addressing the root causes of the school's poor performance, such as low academic achievement, high dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism, should be a priority for the district and school administration. While the school's small enrollment and high student-teacher ratio may contribute to the challenges it faces, the data indicates that students at Independence Continuation may not be receiving the same level of educational opportunities and support as their peers in other schools within the district.
