Summary:
Magnolia Science Academy 5 is the sole public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in the Magnolia Science Academy 5 District. While the school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.1%, its overall statewide ranking has fluctuated between 781 and 1,012 out of over 2,000 California high schools in recent years, earning it a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Magnolia Science Academy 5 struggles with academic performance, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency rates are significantly below the state average across all grade levels. The school's ELA proficiency is more mixed, with some grade levels performing better than the state average but others falling short. With over 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to its academic challenges.
Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 35.3% could be an important area of focus, as it may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance. Overall, while Magnolia Science Academy 5 has a strong graduation rate, its fluctuating statewide ranking and academic performance issues suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
