Summary:

Olive Grove Charter - Lompoc is an alternative public charter school serving grades K-12 in Lompoc, California, with 112 students. The school offers a unique educational approach focused on personalized learning and flexible scheduling to meet the needs of its diverse student population.

While Olive Grove Charter - Lompoc has made some progress, with its graduation rate improving to 77.8% in 2021-2022, the school still faces significant challenges. Its 2022-2023 four-year graduation rate of 41.7% is much lower than the state average of 84.3%, and its dropout rate of 29.2% is more than three times the state average of 8.9%. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 26.4% is nearly double the state average of 14.3%. Academically, Olive Grove Charter - Lompoc's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly lower than state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 33.33% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 55.73%, and 0% were proficient in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 27.9%.

When compared to nearby charter schools, such as Trivium Charter, Olive Grove Charter - Orcutt/Santa Maria, and Family Partnership Charter, Olive Grove Charter - Lompoc generally performs worse in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, chronic absenteeism, and academic achievement. This suggests that the school may need to learn from the practices and strategies of its higher-performing counterparts. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students (75.89% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of students from low-income backgrounds, may contribute to the school's challenges in areas like attendance and academic performance.

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.
