How Audeo Charter compares with California and U.S. medians
What stands out at Audeo Charter
Audeo Charter is a higher-need, mid-sized charter combined-grade school in San Diego, California, enrolling 450 students.
Class loads run heavy: 30:1 is larger than about 96% of California schools and 40% above the 21.5:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 57.3% lands close to the California typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
With 450 students, its enrollment sits close to the California median campus size.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 9,998 scored California schools.
Among 1,684 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #1,353, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by Hispanic or Latino (52%) and White (31%) (diversity index 63/100).
Counselor access is stretched at roughly 563 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 27.1% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
The surrounding Audeo Charter District spends $20,404 per pupil, 24% above the California average, a better-resourced district than most.
Among San Diego's public schools, it stands alongside The O'farrell Charter (1,862 students): Audeo Charter is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (30:1 vs 20.7:1).
Audeo Charter District is a single-school charter district, so Audeo Charter operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
