Among the standout schools in the area is Mountain Oaks, a public charter alternative school that boasts strong performance metrics, including a 95.7% 4-year graduation rate, 6.1% chronic absenteeism, and higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, math, and science compared to district and state averages. In contrast, Calaveras High, the largest traditional high school in the area, has a solid 98.8% 4-year graduation rate but lags behind state averages in proficiency. The lone elementary school, San Andreas Elementary, has concerning metrics, including a 48.4% chronic absenteeism rate and proficiency rates well below state averages.
The data highlights a stark contrast between the high-performing Mountain Oaks and the lower-performing traditional and alternative schools in the area, suggesting the need to investigate the factors contributing to Mountain Oaks' success and potentially apply those strategies to other schools. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at Calaveras High and San Andreas Elementary, are concerning and likely contribute to the lower proficiency scores, indicating a need to address attendance issues. The alternative schools in the data set, such as Rite of Passage and Calaveras River Academy, have very low graduation rates and high dropout rates, highlighting the need to reevaluate the support and resources provided to these students.
