Summary:
The Discovery Charter Preparatory #2 District consists of a single public charter high school, Discovery Charter Preparatory #2, which serves grades 9-12 and has a total enrollment of 191 students. The school is located in Sylmar, California.
While there are no other schools in the district to compare to, the data suggests that Discovery Charter Preparatory #2 is facing some significant challenges. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, going from 1,551 out of 2,123 schools in 2021-2022 to 979 out of 2,323 schools in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates on Smarter Balanced Assessments and the CAST Science assessment are generally lower than the statewide averages, particularly in mathematics and science. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 41.1%, which could be contributing to its academic performance challenges.
Socioeconomic factors may also be playing a role, as the school serves a relatively high-need population, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This may present additional challenges in terms of providing resources and support to help students succeed. Overall, the data suggests that Discovery Charter Preparatory #2 has room for improvement in the quality of education being provided to its students.
