The Altus Schools South Bay District consists of a single public charter high school, Altus Schools South Bay, serving grades 7-12. Based on the available data, Altus Schools South Bay does not appear to be a standout performer in the district or the state, with a declining statewide ranking, below-average graduation rates, and test scores that lag behind state averages.

The school's four-year graduation rate for 2022-2023 was 61.9%, which is below the state average, and its dropout rate was 6.7%, higher than the state average. Altus Schools South Bay also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, at 18.8% in 2022-2023. Academically, the school's test scores are generally below state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with only 64.44% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, and just 11.11% of 11th-grade students and 9.78% of end-of-course students scoring proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 27.9% and 35.54%, respectively.

The high percentage of students (73.17%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, and the relatively high student-teacher ratio of 34.1 to 1, suggest that the school may be facing resource constraints and challenges in serving a population with high needs. Addressing these underlying issues could be key to improving the school's performance and outcomes for its students.
