Crescent View South II

Q: Is Crescent View South II a good school?

Crescent View South II ranks 1712 th of 2323 California alternative schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Crescent View South II is an alternative public charter school located in Fresno, California, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 1,203 students. While the school aims to provide an alternative education model, it faces significant challenges in supporting its students' academic and personal success.

Compared to nearby schools like Yosemite Valley Charter, Endeavor Charter, and Central Online Home, Crescent View South II has a very low 4-year graduation rate of just 25.3% and a high dropout rate of 24.2%. Additionally, the school struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism, with 57.4% of students missing significant amounts of instructional time. Academically, Crescent View South II students perform significantly below the state average in all tested subjects and grade levels, with only 26.97% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and just 4.24% proficient or better in Mathematics.

These challenges may be exacerbated by the high percentage of students (87.28%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of poverty within the school's population. While the alternative school model provides an opportunity for Crescent View South II to implement innovative approaches, the combination of low academic achievement, high dropout rates, and high chronic absenteeism suggests that the school's students require comprehensive support, including academic, social-emotional, and family/community engagement initiatives, to address the underlying factors contributing to their struggles. By examining the practices and strategies of the higher-performing nearby schools, Crescent View South II may be able to identify ways to improve its outcomes and better serve 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.
