Castle Rock

Summary:

Castle Rock is an alternative public charter school located in Crescent City, California, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 351 students. It is part of the Del Norte County Office of Education district.

Castle Rock has seen significant improvements in its four-year graduation rate, increasing from 53.1% in 2018-2019 to 76.2% in the most recent 2022-2023 school year. This is a notable achievement, as it outpaces the graduation rates of the overall Del Norte County Office of Education district, which ranged from 35.85% to 38.46% during the same period. However, the school's dropout rates have varied, from a low of 14.3% in 2021-2022 to a high of 22.7% in 2020-2021, which are still relatively high compared to the 52.9% dropout rate at the nearby Del Norte Community school. Castle Rock's test scores, while lower than the state averages, are generally higher than the scores for the Del Norte County Office of Education district.

One interesting finding is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Castle Rock, ranging from 68.95% to 70.92% in recent years, compared to the 51.45% free and reduced lunch rate at the Uncharted Shores Academy, a public charter school in a different district. This suggests that Castle Rock may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population, which could be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance compared to Uncharted Shores Academy.

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.
