Provisional Accelerated Learning Academy District

The Provisional Accelerated Learning Academy District consists of a single public charter high school, Provisional Accelerated Learning Academy, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 242 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of California high schools for the past three years, indicating significant challenges in providing quality education to its students.

Provisional Accelerated Learning Academy struggles with alarmingly low graduation rates, with only 44.6% of students graduating within four years, and an exceptionally high dropout rate of 39.2%. Across multiple grade levels and subject areas, the school's proficiency rates on standardized assessments are drastically lower than the state averages, suggesting a need for substantial academic interventions and support. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 80.58% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the challenges it faces.

While the school's high student-teacher ratio of 17.2 students per teacher may indicate resource constraints, the data paints a concerning picture of Provisional Accelerated Learning Academy's overall performance and its ability to effectively serve its students. Addressing the school's persistent academic underperformance, low graduation rates, and high dropout rates should be a top priority for the district leadership to ensure that all students in the area have access to a quality education.
