Stanislaus County Special Education

Summary:

Stanislaus County Special Education is an alternative public school in Modesto, CA that serves 408 students from kindergarten through 12th grade. This school, part of the Stanislaus County Office of Education district, is designed to provide specialized education and support for students with special needs.

Stanislaus County Special Education appears to be struggling to meet the needs of its special education student population. The school has had very low 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 7.1% to 29.4% over the past 5 years, which is significantly lower than the state average of around 85% and the nearby schools, which have graduation rates ranging from 65% to over 90%. Correspondingly, the school has had very high dropout rates, ranging from 12.5% to 50% over the past 5 years, much higher than the state average and the nearby schools. Stanislaus County Special Education also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.2% to 56.9% over the past 5 years, over 2-3 times higher than the state average and the nearby schools. Additionally, the school's students perform very poorly on standardized tests compared to the state and nearby schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science all under 20%, and many grades having 0% proficiency.

The school's very high rates of poverty, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, chronic absenteeism, and low academic performance suggest that students may be facing significant challenges both in and out of the classroom that the school is struggling to address. Several nearby Connecting Waters Charter and Hart-Ransom Charter schools are outperforming Stanislaus County Special Education and the district on many metrics, indicating that alternative school models may be more effective for this population. Collaboration and resource-sharing between Stanislaus County Special Education and the nearby Ceres Special Education program, which has similar challenges, could potentially be beneficial.

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.
