North Coastal Consortium Schools faces significant challenges in supporting student success. The school has struggled with low graduation rates, reaching only 15.4% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is much lower than the state average of 47.04% and the San Diego County Office of Education average of 7.43%. Correspondingly, the school has high dropout rates, reaching 30.8% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is much higher than the state and county averages. Additionally, North Coastal Consortium Schools has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 55.6% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state and county averages.

Compared to nearby charter schools, such as Coastal Academy Charter, Guajome Park Academy Charter, and Dimensions Collaborative, North Coastal Consortium Schools performs significantly worse on key metrics like graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at North Coastal Consortium Schools, reaching 50.85% in the 2022-2023 school year, may be a contributing factor to the school's challenges, as students from low-income backgrounds often face additional barriers to academic success.

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.
