Kings Canyon Online

Summary:

Kings Canyon Online is an alternative public charter virtual school located in Dunlap, California, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 136 students. The school is part of the Kings Canyon Joint Unified School District, which is ranked 612 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kings Canyon Online has seen fluctuating graduation rates, ranging from a low of 63.6% in 2018-2019 to a high of 93.9% in 2020-2021. The school's most recent 4-year graduation rate for 2022-2023 is 81.3%, which is higher than the state average but lower than the Kings Canyon Joint Unified district average. The school's dropout rates have also been variable, ranging from 0% in 2019-2020 and 2021-2022 to a high of 9.1% in 2018-2019, with the most recent rate for 2022-2023 at 6.3%, which is higher than the state and district averages. Kings Canyon Online has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 35% in 2017-2018, with the most recent rate for 2022-2023 at 11.6%, still higher than the state and district averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Esperanza High School, another alternative school, has significantly lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates, as well as a higher chronic absenteeism rate. However, Hume Lake Charter generally outperforms Kings Canyon Online in test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Science, and has a much lower student-teacher ratio. Kings Canyon Online's high proportion of students from low-income families may be a contributing factor to its performance challenges, and the school may benefit from further analysis and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.

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.
