What you can do
Who can act on Stanislaus Alternative Charter’s results?

What has the state flagged?
2025–26 is its 4th year in a row in this support. The state named it for its graduation rate. This support comes with a school improvement plan, which must use approaches with evidence behind them and look at how money and staff are divided among schools. Ask the principal to see the school improvement plan.

Where these figures come fromEach measure’s source, student group and definition
- Graduated in four years
- 2024–25 · 27 of 106 students who started 9th grade together. California Department of Education, adjusted cohort graduation records.
- Ready for college or career (state measure)
- 2024–25 · 2 of 107 students in the state’s measure. California Department of Education, College/Career Indicator (CCI), overall “Prepared” rate, among the students in the indicator’s group. Prepared is CDE’s overall classification, not AP participation or a college admission rate.
- Finished the UC/CSU course list
- 2024–25 · 0 of 27 graduates finished the UC/CSU course list. California Department of Education, A–G completion records (graduates who met the UC/CSU course requirements). Course completion is separate from college enrollment.
- Where students who finished high school went
- CDE college-going records, class of 2023. College enrollment is counted for 12 months after finishing high school and matched to college records, so this runs about two years behind. A dash is unavailable, not zero.

45 in 100 students were chronically absent in 2025–26. That means they missed 10% or more of school days. 0 of 1,010 students were suspended at least once in 2025–26.
