Summary:
The Latitude 37.8 High District in Oakland, California is home to a single public charter high school, Latitude 37.8 High, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 282 students.
While Latitude 37.8 High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, currently sitting at 1,006 out of 2,323 California high schools, the school's performance across key metrics is concerning. Its four-year graduation rate of 81.8% is below the state average, and its dropout rate of 9.1% is higher than the norm. Additionally, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science lag behind state averages, with the largest gaps in Mathematics. Chronic absenteeism is also a significant issue, with a rate of 37.3% - well above the state average.
Notably, over 63% of Latitude 37.8 High's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This socioeconomic factor may be influencing the school's academic outcomes, and addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and improving overall performance should be priorities for the school and district. While Latitude 37.8 High is the sole school in the district, its underperformance across multiple areas suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure students receive a high-quality education.
