Rocklin Alternative Education Center

Q: Is Rocklin Alternative Education Center a good school?

Rocklin Alternative Education Center ranks 496 th of 2323 California alternative schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Rocklin Alternative Education Center is a small public virtual alternative school serving grades K-12 in the Rocklin Unified School District, with a student population of 54. While the school maintains a strong 4-year graduation rate, it struggles with a notably high chronic absenteeism rate, suggesting challenges in keeping students engaged and attending regularly.

Rocklin Alternative Education Center's key strengths include its consistently high 4-year graduation rates, which outperform the state average. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.9% to 54.2% over the past 3 years, are significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the Rocklin Unified School District and the state averages, indicating a need to focus on improving academic performance and student learning outcomes. Interestingly, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is lower than the nearby Placer County Office of Education alternative schools.

When compared to the nearby alternative schools, Rocklin Alternative Education Center's performance is mixed. While it has stronger graduation rates, it struggles with higher chronic absenteeism and lower test scores, suggesting the school may have unique challenges or approaches that differentiate it from the surrounding alternatives. The school's student-teacher ratio has also fluctuated over the past 3 years, ranging from 11.3 to 24.1, which may impact its ability to provide personalized attention and support to students. Overall, Rocklin Alternative Education Center appears to have both strengths and areas for improvement, and addressing the high chronic absenteeism and academic performance issues could help the school better support its students' 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.
