SBAC academic outcomes — grade 11, 2024
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.

Student composition — 2024-25
HS grades 9–12 racial/ethnic composition and program subgroups, from CDE Census Day Enrollment. Two-year shift shown when ≥1 pt — surfaces how the community served has changed since 2023-24.

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.
Absenteeism is up 13.5 pp since 2016-17. A rising absenteeism trend often precedes formal departure — worth investigating which subgroups are driving it.

Nea Community Learning Center — Enrollment & Outcomes Snapshot
Public · Alameda · vs. 10 most similar nearby schools
- ▸On UC Reach, Nea Community Learning Center sits near the bottom of its similar-school group (ranked #5 of 6): 16% vs. a peer median of 27%.
- ▸Nea Community Learning Center's UC Reach has declined meaningfully from a peak of 28% in 2021 to 16% in 2024 — a 12-point drop that warrants attention. Multi-year UC Reach declines of this size often signal something specific (leadership change, comp-program shift, demographic move) rather than year-to-year noise. This is the kind of trajectory an Enrollment Trend Audit unpacks.
- ▸Senior-class enrollment is up 7% (30→32 from 2018 to 2025), outpacing the peer-group median of +2%.
- ▸At its recent rate (-2.8%/yr), enrollment projects to ~406 by 2029 — about 36 fewer students than today.
Enrollment projection
That's about 36 fewer students. At per-student funding of $ per student, that's roughly $0 in annual state funding at risk.

Enrollment stability & demand — 2024-25
Two complementary signals: retention (do students stay once enrolled?) and demand (are families choosing the school?). Read against the Alameda County baseline — the demographic tide is moving every CA HS, so a school's gap vs. county is the actionable signal.
Families who enroll at Nea Community Learning Center stay (100.0% stability — elite). But enrollment is dropping faster than Alameda County (school +6.7% vs. county +9.0%). The audit question isn't why students leave — it's why fewer families are choosing to enroll in the first place.
0 of 32 students who enrolled at Nea Community Learning Center this year didn't maintain continuous enrollment (0.0% non-stability). Mid-year transfers, dropouts, and other exits are all counted.

Benchmarks limited to non-virtual public & charter HS with ≥100 cumulative enrollees so by-design-high-churn continuation schools don't dominate the bottom of the distribution. Cumulative enrollment counts every student on the rolls during the year, so it can exceed peak-day enrollment.
District financial profile — Alameda Unified (FY2020)
From 4 years of NCES F-33 filings (the federally-mandated district finance survey). Public schools don't have their own books — the district does. These figures show the financial scale, revenue dependence, instruction-vs-overhead mix, and long-term debt that shape what a school can sustain.
Local: 51.8%
Federal: 7.0%
Source: NCES F-33 Annual Survey of School System Finances (Urban Institute Education Data API). Latest year currently published: FY2020. F-33 is a district-level federal filing — it reflects the Alameda Unified as a whole, not this individual school's books. Revenue mix shows where the district's dollars come from (state aid dominates in CA via LCFF). Instruction share is current expenditure on instruction ÷ total current expenditure (national benchmark ~60%). Long-term debt is end-of-year outstanding (mostly facilities bonds).
