Summary:
The Opportunities for Learning - Capistrano District consists of a single public charter high school, Opportunities for Learning - Capistrano, which serves grades 7-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 517 out of 2,123 high schools in 2021-2022 to 909 out of 2,323 high schools in 2023-2024, suggesting a relative decline in performance compared to other high schools in the state.
Academically, Opportunities for Learning - Capistrano has a mixed performance, with English Language Arts/Literacy scores generally on par with or slightly above the statewide averages, but significantly lower Mathematics and Science scores compared to the state. The school's four-year graduation rate of 45.8% is notably lower than the state average, while its dropout rate of 13.3% is higher than desired. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2% is relatively high, which may be a contributing factor to the lower graduation and academic performance.
Despite these challenges, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with nearly half of the student population (48.7%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the school's areas of weakness and improve student outcomes, while also leveraging its strengths in English Language Arts/Literacy performance.
