Summary:
The Mendocino County Office of Education district has only one high school, Mendocino County Community, which serves a small student population of just 11 students. This school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in California, with extremely poor academic outcomes, low graduation rates, and high dropout and chronic absenteeism rates.
Mendocino County Community's student body is relatively diverse, with 36.36% White and 63.64% Hispanic students, but a large majority (72.73%) of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income population. The school's academic performance is dismal, with 0% of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Smarter Balanced Assessments. Its 4-year graduation rate is just 53.3%, and its dropout rate is a concerning 40.0%.
While the school's small student-teacher ratio of 5.5 to 1 could potentially be an advantage, it does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of Mendocino County Community, which appears to be a struggling school in need of significant improvement to better serve its students and the Mendocino County Office of Education district.
