Bert Corona Charter High District

Bert Corona Charter High is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Bert Corona Charter High District. With a total enrollment of 200 students, the school has faced significant challenges in recent years, including declining statewide rankings, low academic performance, high poverty levels, and chronic absenteeism.

Bert Corona Charter High has seen its statewide ranking drop from 1,249 out of 2,123 California high schools in 2021-2022 to 1,729 out of 2,323 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating. The school's test scores in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the statewide averages for California. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (91.5%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a student population from low-income families.

Further concerns include a chronic absenteeism rate of 36.3% and a four-year graduation rate of 92.5%. While the student-teacher ratio of 14.2 is relatively low, the school's overall performance suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the academic, socioeconomic, and engagement challenges faced by the school and its students.
