Opportunities for Learning - Duarte

Summary:

Opportunities for Learning - Duarte is a small alternative public charter school serving grades K-12 in Duarte, California, with just 88 students. However, the school has faced significant challenges in recent years, with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and high chronic absenteeism compared to nearby alternative schools.

Opportunities for Learning - Duarte has struggled with very low four-year graduation rates, ranging from just 18.4% in 2022-2023 to 46.0% in 2021-2022. This is significantly lower than the graduation rates of nearby alternative schools like Oak Knoll Alternative (76.5% in 2022-2023) and Rancho Learning Center (96.6% in 2022-2023). The school has also faced high dropout rates, reaching 36.8% in 2022-2023, much higher than the rates of other nearby alternative schools like Puente Hills High (18.5% in 2022-2023) and Oak Knoll Alternative (17.6% in 2022-2023).

Opportunities for Learning - Duarte's academic performance is also a concern, with consistently lower test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 38.71% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 55.73%. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.5% to 70.73% in recent years, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to the challenges it faces. Addressing these issues will be crucial for the Opportunities for Learning - Duarte District to improve outcomes for its students.

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.
