Options for Youth San Gabriel

Summary:

Options for Youth San Gabriel is a public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in San Gabriel, California, with 341 students. The school faces significant challenges, as it consistently performs below the state average in academic assessments and has relatively low graduation rates and high dropout and chronic absenteeism rates.

Options for Youth San Gabriel's academic performance is a major concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science assessments well below the state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 11th-grade proficiency rates were 34.78% in ELA and 10.87% in Math, compared to the state averages of 55.73% and 27.9%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rates, ranging from 42.6% to 57.3% in recent years, are also significantly lower than the state average. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 42.4% in the 2022-2023 school year.

In contrast, nearby high-performing schools like South Pasadena Senior High, San Marino High, and Mark Keppel High consistently rank among the top 5-15% of California high schools, indicating a substantial gap in academic achievement compared to Options for Youth San Gabriel, which ranks in the bottom 30-40% of California high schools. This disparity may be attributed to the school's high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 75.66% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, as well as its relatively high student-teacher ratio of 24.4 in the 2022-2023 school year.

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.
