Federal Title I context

High-poverty school

Title I Schoolwide eligible

84.2%

FRPL rate — % of students who qualify for the federal Free or Reduced-Price Lunch program. This is the underlying federal income-eligibility signal Title I designations are computed from (ESEA Sec. 1113).

0% (no FRPL) 35% TA · 40% Schoolwide 100% (universal FRPL)

≥75% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. These schools qualify for the highest tier of federal Title I funding and typically receive extra wraparound services. Academic outcomes vary widely — check the state assessment + grad-rate tiles.

Source: NCES Common Core of Data, free/reduced-price lunch eligibility. The actual Title I designation is a district decision and may differ from eligibility — but the federal eligibility math is what we show here. We don't claim to assert whether the district formally chose to enroll this school in Title I.

College readiness

Getting ready for college

These come from the state and federal files, not from UC — so they are here whether or not West Park Charter Academy has a UC admissions record.

Student-Counselor Ratio ⓘ

Counseling here is unusually well-staffed — about 61 students per counselor, near what experts recommend.

61:1

3.0 FTE counselors · 183 students

In context: CA median 337:1 · 276 fewer students per counselor · ASCA target 250:1.

A-G Completion ⓘ

Fewer than 1 in 10 graduates finish the courses UC and CSU require — below the state norm. Worth asking how course access and planning work here.

2023-24 cohort

In context: CA median 54.5% · -54.5 pp vs. median · Fresno Co. 49.8%.

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.

About 4 in 10 students read and write at grade level — below the state norm — worth asking what extra support looks like.

Chronic absenteeism — 2024-25

Share of students missing 10% or more of expected attendance — the leading indicator that often precedes the demand decline shown above. Families disengaging tend to raise absenteeism first, then formally leave. Basis: grades 9–12.

Kids show up: 5% are chronically absent versus about 23% statewide — engagement most schools would envy.

Enrollment stability & demand — 2024-25

Two complementary signals: retention (do students stay once enrolled?) and demand (are families choosing the school?). Read against the Fresno County baseline — the demographic tide is moving every CA HS, so a school's gap vs. county is the actionable signal.

69% of students who start the year here finish it here.

Critical

Compounding decline on both vectors.

Enrollment -61.4% vs. county +6.7% AND stability (68.7%) below the county median. Recruitment and retention both under pressure — likely a foundational rather than tactical problem.
