Summit Public School K2

Summary:

Summit Public School K2 is a public charter high school located in El Cerrito, California, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 506 students. The school is part of the Summit Public School K2 District, which is ranked 1043 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past few years, Summit Public School K2's statewide ranking has declined, from 363 out of 2,133 California high schools in 2018-2019 (rated 4 stars) to 1,208 out of 2,323 in 2023-2024 (rated 2 stars), indicating a significant drop in the school's performance compared to other high schools in the state. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male and Hispanic students maintaining relatively higher rankings, while Asian, African American, and English Language Learner students have consistently lower rankings, suggesting achievement gaps. Summit Public School K2 has a 93.0% four-year graduation rate, which is higher than the state average, but also a concerning 3.5% dropout rate. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 40.7%, which may be a contributing factor to its overall performance.

When compared to nearby schools, Summit Public School K2 generally performs better than Richmond High and Greenwood Academy, which are also part of the West Contra Costa Unified School District. However, it lags behind the higher-performing schools in the area, such as El Cerrito High and Albany High. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 72.13% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and the increasing student-teacher ratio, from 15.4 in 2021-2022 to 20.3 in 2022-2023, may be contributing factors to the school's academic challenges.

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.
