East Palo Alto Academy District


Summary:

The East Palo Alto Academy District consists of a single public charter high school, East Palo Alto Academy, serving grades 9-12. The school faces significant challenges, with a declining statewide ranking, low academic performance, and high chronic absenteeism rates.

East Palo Alto Academy's statewide ranking has dropped from 1496 out of 2323 California high schools in 2023-2024 to 1748 out of 2123 in 2021-2022, with a 2-star rating. The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests are well below the state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, the school's 11th-grade math proficiency rate was 9.38%, compared to the state average of 27.9%.

The school's small student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1 suggests a focus on personalized attention, but the data indicates that more support and resources may be needed to improve student outcomes and address the school's performance issues.
