Shasta County Special Education

Summary:

Shasta County Special Education is a small alternative public school in Redding, California that serves 30 students from kindergarten through 12th grade. As a specialized school focused on students with unique needs, it faces some significant challenges compared to nearby schools and the broader district.

The school has notably high chronic absenteeism rates, with 33.3% of students chronically absent in the 2022-2023 school year - much higher than the state average of 11.2%. This likely contributes to the school's low academic performance, with only 5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 5.26% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 47.04% and 35.54% respectively. The school also serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 76.67% receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10 to 1, suggesting it can provide more individualized attention.

When compared to nearby alternative and charter schools like Evergreen Institute of Excellence, Northern Summit Academy Shasta, and Stellar Charter, Shasta County Special Education's academic performance is significantly lower. This highlights the unique challenges the school faces in serving its specialized student population, and the importance of tailoring support and resources to address their needs. Collaboration with the Shasta County Office of Education district and other nearby schools may help identify best practices to improve student attendance and academic 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.
