LCAP Goals

Post

By 2027, the following cohort outcomes will be achieved:
• Graduation rate increased by 5% and
• College/Career Indicator (CCI) indicator increased by 1 Status Level
from the 2023-24 Dashboard

Goal 1 is to improve the graduation outcomes of historically underserved students in the district. Outcomes are concerned with students successfully graduating from district schools and prepared for college / career. Each of the following student groups have historically been underserved in the district based on their graduation and college/career preparedness rates. Although the data for these student groups are being highlighted by each unique demographic, the district and its educational partners are aware that there is intersectionality between the demographics.


The overall graduation rate on the California School Dashboard released in December 2024 was 83.8 percent. Below are the respective graduation rates for each of our historically underserved groups:

  • African American: 74.0
  • American Indian: 72.2
  • English Learner: 72.1
  • Students With Disabilities: 67.0
  • Foster Youth: 57.1
  • Homeless Youth: 59.2
  • Socioeconomically Disadvantaged: 81.7

Of the students who did graduate, only 33.2% were deemed Prepared on the College and Career Indicator (CCI) resulting in a Low rating.
Below are the respective college/career preparedness rates for each of our historically underserved groups:

  • African American: 12.6
  • American Indian: No baseline data reported
  • English Learner: 12.3
  • Students With Disabilities: 6.9
