Pacific View Charter

Summary:

Pacific View Charter is an alternative public charter school located in Oceanside, California, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 633 students. The school is part of the Pacific View Charter District.

While Pacific View Charter is an alternative school, it faces significant challenges compared to nearby alternative schools. The school has had declining four-year graduation rates, dropping from 68.7% in 2021-2022 to 54.0% in 2022-2023, which is significantly lower than the nearby Coastal Academy Charter (92.5%) and Guajome Park Academy Charter (98.4%). Additionally, Pacific View Charter has a high dropout rate of 23.2% in 2022-2023, much higher than Coastal Academy Charter (3.0%) and Guajome Park Academy Charter (0.8%).

Academically, Pacific View Charter students consistently perform below the state average in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as in the California Science Test (CAST). For example, in 2023-2024, only 38.3% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 55.73%. However, the school has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 4.6% in 2022-2023, which is better than some nearby schools like Vista Visions Academy (58.2%) and North Coastal Consortium Schools (55.6%). The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 70.77% in 2022-2023, suggests that Pacific View Charter may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population, which could contribute to the lower academic performance and higher dropout rates.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
