Kern County Community

Summary:

Kern County Community is an alternative public school in Bakersfield, California, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 298 students. Unfortunately, this school has faced significant challenges, with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and poor academic performance compared to state and county averages.

The data reveals that Kern County Community has consistently low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 27.2% to 37.8% over the past five years, significantly lower than the state average of around 55%. The school also has alarmingly high dropout rates, ranging from 48.9% to 54.8% over the past five years, much higher than the state and county averages. Additionally, Kern County Community has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 60.9% to 64.3% over the past five years, more than double the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on standardized tests, is significantly below state and county averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

In contrast, nearby schools in the Kern County Office of Education district, such as Valley Oaks Charter and Kern County Special Education, have significantly higher graduation rates, lower dropout rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better academic performance. This suggests that the challenges faced by Kern County Community may be closely tied to the socioeconomic status of its student population, which is highly disadvantaged, with 90.94% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

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.
