Bert Corona Charter District

The Bert Corona Charter District consists of a single middle school, Bert Corona Charter, which has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of California middle schools over the past three school years. The school's performance is concerning, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and a large percentage of students from low-income families.

Bert Corona Charter's test scores are significantly below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 24.13% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 47.04%. In Mathematics, only 8.14% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 35.54%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 30.3% in the 2022-2023 school year is also much higher than the state average.

Given the school's poor performance and low rankings, it is clear that Bert Corona Charter needs to implement significant improvements to better serve its students and meet state standards. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 83.38% in the 2022-2023 school year, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Addressing the underlying issues, such as high chronic absenteeism and low test scores, will be crucial for the school to improve and provide a better education for its students.
