L.A. Charter School Reduces Absences
Scholarship Prep South Bay, a Wilmington charter school serving students from low-income and homeless families, has successfully eliminated chronic absenteeism among its homeless students through extensive wraparound services, counseling, and community partnerships. Last year, none of its homeless students were chronically absent, and the school provides numerous supports such as mental health services, food, transportation, and emergency supplies to help students stay in class. Despite lower standardized test scores compared to statewide averages, the school reports academic progress, especially among students from low-income backgrounds, emphasizing how comprehensive care contributes to improved attendance and student well-being.
