Summary:
The Bay Area Technology District contains a single public charter high school, Bay Area Technology, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 349 students. While the school maintains a relatively high 92.9% four-year graduation rate, it faces significant challenges, including a high 44.7% chronic absenteeism rate and lower-than-average test scores across all grade levels and subject areas.
Bay Area Technology serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with 80.52% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high level of economic need may contribute to the school's academic struggles, which are further exacerbated by a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 27.7. Despite these challenges, the school's dropout rate of 7.1% is higher than the state average, suggesting that more support and interventions may be needed to keep students engaged and on track to graduation.
Overall, the data indicates that Bay Area Technology is a high-need school facing significant challenges in academic performance and student engagement. While the school has some bright spots, such as its relatively high graduation rate, it will likely need to implement targeted strategies and interventions to address the underlying issues and improve outcomes for its students.
