Triton Academy

Summary:

Triton Academy is an alternative public school located in Camarillo, California, serving grades 3-12 with a total enrollment of 77 students. The school has faced significant challenges in recent years, with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and high chronic absenteeism rates compared to the surrounding schools and the state average.

Triton Academy's four-year graduation rates have ranged from 9.1% to 33.3% over the past few years, significantly lower than the surrounding schools, such as Providence and Phoenix, which have higher graduation rates. The school's dropout rates have also been high, ranging from 0% to 9.1%, which is higher than the surrounding schools and the state average. Additionally, Triton Academy has had very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.7% to 46.8%, significantly higher than the surrounding schools and the state average.

Triton Academy's academic performance is also a concern, with test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly lower than the surrounding schools and the state average. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 14.29% of Triton Academy students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 7.41% for the Ventura County Office of Education and 47.04% for the state of California. The school's high rates of free and reduced-price lunch, ranging from 29.87% to 34.78%, may be contributing factors to the low academic performance, as these factors are often associated with socioeconomic challenges and other barriers to student 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.
