High Schools in Downtown College Preparatory District

The Downtown College Preparatory District in California is home to a single high school, Downtown College Preparatory. While the school boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.4%, its overall statewide ranking has fluctuated between 1080 and 1502 out of over 2,300 California high schools in the past three years, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Downtown College Preparatory's academic performance is mixed, with 11th-grade students performing at or near the state average in English Language Arts/Literacy but significantly below the state average in Mathematics. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 35.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a relatively low-income student population, with 76.77% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite its strengths, such as the high graduation rate, Downtown College Preparatory's declining statewide ranking and inconsistent academic performance suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate and socioeconomic challenges also present additional hurdles to student success. Parents and the community may want to closely monitor the school's progress and advocate for additional resources and support to address these areas of concern.
