The Education Corps

Summary:

The Education Corps is a public charter high school located in Long Beach, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 202 students. Unfortunately, this school consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of California high schools, with significantly below-average academic performance compared to other high schools in the state.

The Education Corps struggles with dismal graduation rates, ranging from just 22.0% to 36.9% over the past few years, which is well below the state average. Correspondingly, the school has very high dropout rates, reaching 31.0% in 2022-2023, more than triple the state average. Additionally, the school has an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 77.2%, which is significantly higher than the state average. On standardized tests, only 22.58% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, and 0% were proficient or better in Mathematics, less than half the state averages.

Compared to nearby public high schools, such as Polytechnic High, Richard D. Browning High, and Rancho Dominguez Preparatory, The Education Corps performs significantly worse, with lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and poorer academic performance. The school also struggles to support various student subgroups, with low rankings for female, male, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students compared to their peers at other California high schools. These concerning trends suggest a systemic issue with the quality of education provided at The Education Corps.

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.
