New Opportunities Charter District

The New Opportunities Charter District in California has only one high school, New Opportunities Charter, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 348 students. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture of this school's performance, with low statewide rankings, poor academic metrics, and high rates of chronic absenteeism and dropout.

New Opportunities Charter has a statewide ranking of 1537 out of 2323 California high schools and is rated only 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate is an alarmingly low 1.5%, and its dropout rate is a staggering 98.4%. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 81.0%, indicating that a large proportion of students are missing a significant amount of instructional time. The school's performance on the CAST/Science assessments is also very low, with only 11.11% of 12th-grade and end-of-course students scoring proficient or better, compared to the statewide averages of 26.73% and 30.7%, respectively.

While the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 4.31%, this does not appear to be translating into better academic performance or student engagement. The data highlights the need for significant interventions and support to improve student outcomes at New Opportunities Charter. Addressing the root causes of the school's poor performance should be a top priority for the school and the district, as the current state of the school is not serving the best interests of the students and the community.
