How Able Charter compares with California and U.S. medians
What stands out at Able Charter
Able Charter is a higher-need, large charter combined-grade school in Stockton, California, enrolling 1,186 students.
At 22.4:1, its student-teacher ratio sits close to the California median, within a few percentage points of the 21.5:1 state norm, neither notably crowded nor notably small.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 64.0% lands close to the California typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
By headcount it is one of the larger campuses in California, bigger than 91% of state schools at 1,186 students.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 9,998 scored California schools.
Among 651 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #469, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by Hispanic or Latino (68%) and African American (10%) (diversity index 51/100).
Counselor availability sits well past the ASCA benchmark, roughly 395 students sharing each counselor, though short of the most stretched campuses.
Among Stockton's public schools, it stands alongside Franklin High (2,065 students): Able Charter is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (22.4:1 vs 19.9:1).
Humphreys College Academy of Business Law and Ed District is a single-school charter district, so Able Charter operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
