Summary:

Accelerated Charter High is a public charter high school located in Tulare, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 172 students. The school is part of the Tulare Joint Union High School District, which is ranked 1013 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Accelerated Charter High has consistently high 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 97.2% to 99.4% over the past 5 years, which is significantly higher than the nearby Tulare Technical Preparatory High (73.3%) and Countryside Community Day (63.6%). However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.1% in 2018-2019 to 39.7% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the nearby Tulare Western High (9.5%) and Mission Oak High (14.3%).

Academically, Accelerated Charter High consistently underperforms compared to the Tulare Joint Union High School District and the state of California in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as the California Science Test (CAST). For example, in 2023-2024, only 11.34% of Accelerated Charter High students were proficient or better in 11th grade ELA, compared to 53.47% for the district and 55.73% for the state. This underperformance is consistent across various student subgroups, suggesting systemic challenges in supporting the academic achievement of the school's predominantly low-income student population.

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.
