Summary:

Insight School of California is a public charter virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in Simi Valley, CA, with 306 students. The school is part of the Insight School of California District, which is ranked 1223 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Insight School of California has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Insight School of California's performance lags significantly behind the nearby traditional public high schools, such as Oak Park High, Moorpark High, Thousand Oaks High, and Royal High, across a range of key metrics, including graduation rates, dropout rates, chronic absenteeism, and test scores. For example, Insight School of California has a relatively low 4-year graduation rate of 60.3% to 64.8%, compared to the nearby traditional public high schools, which range from 92.2% to 97.8%. Additionally, the school has a high dropout rate of 33.6% and a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.6%, both of which are significantly higher than the nearby traditional public high schools.

Insight School of California's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and students with disabilities, whose rankings are significantly lower than the overall school ranking. As a virtual charter school, Insight School of California may face unique challenges in engaging students and supporting their academic and social-emotional development, which could contribute to the school's relatively poor performance compared to traditional brick-and-mortar high schools in the area. The data suggests that the school could benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, student support systems, and overall school culture to identify areas for improvement and better support student success.

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.
