Summary:

The School of Extended Educational Options is an alternative public charter school located in Pomona, California, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 970 students. The school is part of the Pomona Unified School District, which is ranked 1056 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has seen a significant improvement in its four-year graduation rates, increasing from 25.8% in 2018-2019 to 50.4% in 2022-2023. However, this rate is still considerably lower than the state average of 84.3% and the Pomona Unified District average of 85.1%. The school has also experienced a fluctuating dropout rate, ranging from 8.6% in 2021-2022 to 25.2% in 2019-2020, which is higher than the state average of 8.9% and the Pomona Unified District average of 10.9%. Additionally, the school has had high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 56.9% in 2017-2018, though the rate has decreased to 14.5% in 2022-2023, it is still significantly higher than the state average of 14.2% and the Pomona Unified District average of 16.1%. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the Smarter Balanced Assessments and the California Science Test (CAST), is generally lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

Compared to nearby alternative schools, such as George Key, Buena Vista Virtual Academy, and Rowland Virtual Learning Academy, the School of Extended Educational Options performs significantly worse in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, chronic absenteeism, and test scores. The school's high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, as well as its high chronic absenteeism, suggest that the student population may face significant socioeconomic and other challenges that could be impacting their academic performance. However, the recent improvements in graduation rates and decreases in chronic absenteeism indicate that the school may be taking steps to address these issues, and further investigation into the school's unique educational approach could provide valuable insights into how it is addressing the challenges faced by 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.
