SBAC academic outcomes — grade 11, 2025
Share of grade-11 students meeting or exceeding the California standard on Smarter Balanced ELA and Math. This is the academic-readiness signal that pairs with UC Reach (post-grad outcomes), stability (retention), and absenteeism (engagement). Note: statewide median Math is only ~20% — a school at 20% isn't an outlier; one at 45%+ genuinely is.

Chronic absenteeism — 2024-25

Enrollment stability & demand — 2024-25
Two complementary signals: retention (do students stay once enrolled?) and demand (are families choosing the school?). Read against the Riverside County baseline — the demographic tide is moving every CA HS, so a school's gap vs. county is the actionable signal.
Enrollment growth is beating Riverside County (+14.9% vs. -6.9%), but 260 of 647 students didn't maintain continuous enrollment. Why are families leaving once enrolled?
260 of 647 students who enrolled at Empire Springs Charter School this year didn't maintain continuous enrollment (40.2% non-stability). Mid-year transfers, dropouts, and other exits are all counted.
