Summary:
The Education Corps District has only one public charter high school, The Education Corps, which serves grades 9-12. The school is struggling across multiple metrics, with a declining statewide ranking, low graduation rates, high dropout and chronic absenteeism, and poor academic performance compared to state averages.
The Education Corps has a student population of 202, with a predominantly Hispanic student body (84.65%). The school's 4-year graduation rate is only 36.9%, far below the state average, and its dropout rate is a concerning 31.0%. Chronic absenteeism is a major issue, with 77.2% of students chronically absent. Academically, only 17.65% of 11th-grade students are proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, and 0% are proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 55.41% and 27.36%, respectively.
The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (80.69% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) may be a contributing factor to the school's challenges. To address these issues, The Education Corps District may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems, such as providing additional academic support, enhancing family and community engagement, and addressing chronic absenteeism, in order to improve student outcomes and better serve the community.
