Altus Schools East County District


Summary:

The Altus Schools East County District consists of a single public charter high school, Altus Schools East County, serving grades 7-12. While the school has some bright spots, such as its 11th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate exceeding the state average, it faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and resource allocation.

Altus Schools East County is ranked 1171 out of 2323 California high schools and has a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's four-year graduation rate of 60.0% is below the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.6% is slightly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 29.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages, with some exceptions.

One notable factor is the high percentage of students (69.26%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This, combined with the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 34.1, suggests that the school may face challenges in providing the necessary resources and support to its students. Overall, while Altus Schools East County has some bright spots, it appears to be a struggling school that requires a comprehensive approach to address its underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
