Its four-year graduation rates have been highly variable, ranging from a low of 27.3% in 2020-2021 to a high of 75.0% in 2021-2022, which is significantly lower than the state and district averages. Correspondingly, the school's dropout rates have also been high, ranging from 9.1% to 47.8% over the past five years, much higher than the state and district averages.

When comparing Future Bound Independent Study Secondary to other nearby schools, such as Ramona High and Montecito High (Continuation), which are in the same district, it becomes clear that the school is an outlier in terms of performance. These nearby schools significantly outperform Future Bound on key metrics such as graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism. The school's high rates of chronic absenteeism, economic disadvantage, and its status as an independent study program may all be contributing factors to its consistently low performance, and addressing these challenges could lead to meaningful improvements in student outcomes.

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.
