Summary:
Encore Junior/Senior High School for the Perf and Visual Arts is the sole public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in the Encore Junior/Senior High School for the Perf and Visual Ar district located in Hesperia, California. With a total enrollment of 630 students, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 1113 out of 2123 California high schools in 2021-2022 to 1640 out of 2323 in 2023-2024, and its rating has also decreased from 2 stars to 1 star out of 5.
Despite maintaining a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 96.4% for the 2022-2023 school year, Encore Junior/Senior High School for the Perf and Visual Arts faces several challenges. The school's test scores are generally lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with 11th-grade proficiency rates of 47.69% in ELA and 6.35% in Math, compared to state averages of 55.73% and 27.9% respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.4% in 2022-2023, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance.
Furthermore, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students (51.75%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may need targeted interventions and support to address the academic achievement gaps and improve student outcomes.
