Ceiba College Preparatory Academy

Summary:

Ceiba College Preparatory Academy is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Watsonville, California, with 511 students. The school is part of the Ceiba College Preparatory Academy District, which is ranked 829 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ceiba College Preparatory Academy has shown mixed academic performance compared to the state average. While the school outperformed the state in 11th grade English Language Arts, it lagged behind in most other assessments, particularly in science, where only 1.75% of 12th graders and 3.6% of students in the End of Course exam were proficient, compared to the state averages of 26.73% and 30.7%, respectively. Compared to nearby schools, Ceiba College Preparatory Academy generally outperforms lower-ranked schools but falls behind higher-performing institutions like Diamond Technology Institute and Aptos High. However, the school's 100% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate are notable achievements, especially given its high percentage of English Language Learners and low-socioeconomic status students.

While Ceiba College Preparatory Academy's support for certain student subgroups is commendable, the school's relatively low performance for students with disabilities and higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate are areas of concern. The school may need to evaluate its special education program and services, as well as investigate and address the factors contributing to the higher chronic absenteeism rate, as these issues can negatively impact student learning and achievement.

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.
