Summary:
The OCASA College Prep District contains a single high school, OCASA College Prep, which serves students in the area. While the school has maintained a 3-star rating out of 5 from the School Digger rankings over the past two years, its statewide ranking has declined from 787 to 894 out of California high schools, indicating a need for improvement in several key areas.
Academically, OCASA College Prep has struggled with lower-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy across all grade levels and end-of-course exams compared to the state. However, the school's performance in Mathematics and Science has been more mixed, with some grade levels exceeding the state average and others falling behind. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 10.6% in the 2022-2023 school year suggests that student engagement and attendance may be an area of concern.
Demographic factors, such as the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (31.31%) and its relatively high student-teacher ratio of 19.7, may also contribute to the challenges faced by OCASA College Prep. While these factors do not directly determine a school's academic performance, they can impact the level of individual attention and support available to students, potentially hindering their educational outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that OCASA College Prep has room for improvement in order to better serve the needs of its students and the surrounding community.
