Most rating sites would stop at “47% proficient” and call it done. Sage Oak Charter School- Keppel deserves a closer read. The school sits in Redlands, where two in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 3.4% chronic absenteeism — versus 17.9% statewide. Attendance is the quietest strong signal a school can post.
As a charter, Sage Oak Charter School- Keppel enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
