Summary:

Urban Corps of San Diego County Charter is a public charter high school located in San Diego, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 183 students. This school stands out for its concerning performance metrics, which starkly contrast with the nearby high-performing public high schools.

The data reveals that Urban Corps of San Diego County Charter has extremely low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 0.0% to 3.2% over the past 5 years, much lower than the 69.8% to 98.2% graduation rates of nearby schools like Clairemont High, Mission Bay High, and High Technical High. Correspondingly, the school has very high dropout rates, ranging from 38.1% to 96.8%, much higher than the 0.0% to 11.1% dropout rates of nearby public high schools.

Additionally, Urban Corps of San Diego County Charter has alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 45.2% to 78.1%, significantly higher than the 20.7% to 33.6% chronic absenteeism rates of nearby schools. The school's performance on standardized tests is also very poor, with only 10.34% of 12th-grade students proficient or better in CAST/Science, compared to the state average of 26.73%. This underperformance is likely exacerbated by the school's extremely high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, at 97.81%, much higher than the 34.7% to 95.35% range of nearby public high schools. Addressing the challenges faced by this predominantly disadvantaged student population should be a priority for the Mono County Office of Education district and local education authorities.

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.
