How Bostonia Global compares with California and U.S. medians
What stands out at Bostonia Global
Bostonia Global is a higher-need, large charter combined-grade school in El Cajon, California, enrolling 1,266 students.
Class loads run heavy: 26.4:1 is larger than about 87% of California schools and 23% above the 21.5:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 52.0% 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 92% of state schools at 1,266 students.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 9,998 scored California schools.
Against 522 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks mid-pack at #316.
Its student body is led by Hispanic or Latino (70%) and White (19%) (diversity index 47/100).
Counselor access is stretched at roughly 633 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 28.0% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Among El Cajon's public schools, it stands alongside Literacy First Charter (2,160 students): Bostonia Global is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (26.4:1 vs 23.5:1).
Bostonia Global District is a single-school charter district, so Bostonia Global operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
