New Millennium Secondary District

The New Millennium Secondary District in California has only one public charter high school, New Millennium Secondary. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its performance has been declining over the past three years, with a statewide ranking that has dropped from 1708 out of 2348 California high schools in 2022-2023 to 1466 out of 2323 in 2023-2024. The school is rated only 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating that it is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.

New Millennium Secondary has a graduation rate of 91.7%, which is slightly above the state average, but it also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 35.0%, much higher than the state average. The school's test scores are significantly lower than the state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with only 40% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 55.73%, and only 12% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 27.9%. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving student engagement, attendance, and academic support to help its students succeed.

Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (83.44%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This may contribute to the school's academic performance issues, and the district may need to consider ways to provide additional resources and support to help these students overcome the challenges they face.
