Evergreen Institute of Excellence

Summary:

Evergreen Institute of Excellence is an alternative public charter school located in Cottonwood, CA, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 146 students. The school is part of the Evergreen Union District, which is ranked 862 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Evergreen Institute of Excellence has demonstrated strong performance in terms of graduation rates and dropout rates, which are key indicators of student success. The school has had a 100% four-year graduation rate for the past two school years, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's test scores, particularly in mathematics, are an area of concern, with the 11th-grade mathematics proficiency rate at 0%, compared to 0% for the district and 27.9% for the state. When compared to nearby alternative schools, such as Gateway Educational Options, which had a 54.5% four-year graduation rate and a 24.2% dropout rate in 2022-2023, Evergreen Institute of Excellence generally performs better.

The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.66% to 59.69% over the past three school years, suggests the need for additional support and resources to address the needs of its student population. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has seen a steady increase, from 0.7% in 2018-2019 to 1.9% in 2022-2023, which is still lower than the state average but worth monitoring.

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.
