Student Demographics

Student Enrollment

The total enrollment at All Tribes Charter School is 58 students, making it a small high school, in the bottom 25% of all California high schools by size.

With at most a few dozen students in your class, you'll get to know most other All Tribes Charter students well. But the small student body size may mean that you won't get access to the full range of activities and classes that other high schools offer.

If you find that your interests aren't well served by All Tribes Charter, consider transferring to a larger high school if possible, or find ways to supplement your interests in your community or on the Internet.

Growth in Student Body Size

Is All Tribes Charter School growing or shrinking? This will help you see trends in where the school is headed.

From our calculations, the enrollment at All Tribes Charter has steadily decreased over the past few years. We calculate this by comparing enrollment in grades 9 to 12.

	Male Students	Female Students	All Students
9^th grade	1	3	4
10^th grade	6	2	8
11^th grade	9	2	11
12^th grade	12	6	18

As you can see in the table above, the senior class is 14 students larger than the freshman class. This suggests that All Tribes Charter is shrinking in size and taking on fewer students.

There are a few reasons this can happen. The population of Valley Center could be decreasing, thus sending fewer students into All Tribes Charter. Alternatively, other schools (like charter or private schools) might be appearing, drawing students away.

Gender Split

Are there more boys or girls at All Tribes Charter School?

From our statistics, All Tribes Charter has a 69:31 split between male and female students in the high school grades.

There is a large male majority at All Tribes Charter, and much more than you would expect from the general population in San Diego County. As a result, it'll feel like there are a lot more girls than boys in your classes.

Sometimes this imbalance can result from random chance and may not suggest anything about All Tribes Charter. In other cases, the school might preferentially select for males. For example, in our data we find that continuation high schools unfortunately seem to be male-dominated. In yet other cases, other neighboring schools might attract female students, drawing them away from All Tribes Charter.

If the male majority is concerning to you, we suggest contacting All Tribes Charter administration and asking if they have any thoughts about why there's a gender imbalance. Their phone number is 7607495982.

Ethnicity Breakdown

What's the racial diversity at All Tribes Charter School? Does one ethnicity make up most of the student body, or is it fairly balanced?

From our statistics, All Tribes Charter has a homogenous student body, with the overwhelming majority of students identifying as one ethnicity. Only a third of California schools show as little diversity as All Tribes Charter does. When attending class, most students will be of the same ethnicity, with some variation.

The majority of students at All Tribes Charter are American Indian/Alaska Native. Across the state, only 0.7% of students identify as American Indian/Alaska Native, and only a few dozen schools have American Indian/Alaska Native students as the majority. This makes All Tribes Charter a special school in this regard.

Black	0.0%	0

Income Level of All Tribes Charter Families

What are the family incomes of students at All Tribes Charter School? To determine this, we look at the number of students who qualify for free or reduced lunches, a classification by the US federal government.

To qualify for a reduced price meal, family income needs to be below 185% of the federal poverty guidelines. For a family of 4, this means an income of around $45,000 or below.

To qualify for a free meal, family income needs to be below 130% of the federal poverty guidelines. For a family of 4, this means an income of around $32,000 or below.

The lower the percentage of students who qualify for free or reduced price meals, the higher the income levels are likely to be.

At All Tribes Charter, 0.0% of students qualify for reduced-price lunches, and 94.8% qualify for free lunches.

This means All Tribes Charter has a high percentage of students at or near poverty. Almost a third of all schools in California show this level of poverty, and by National Center for Education Statistics standards, All Tribes Charter can be classified as a high poverty school. The income level of families in Valley Center is thus likely to be low.

	Number	Percent
Reduced-price lunches	0	0.0%
Free lunches	55	94.8%
Do not qualify for reduced-price or free lunches	3	5.1%

As with ethnicity, this likely reflects the surrounding community in Valley Center and doesn't speak much about the school itself.

Unfortunately, schools in areas of lower income levels are likely to be more poorly funded. As a result, they might feature less advanced coursework like AP/IB classes, and you may not have a full range of sports and extracurriculars to draw from. Because All Tribes Charter is an especially high poverty-level school, it might not have the resources you need to meet your full potential.

You definitely don't have control over the city, the school, or other families, but you can structure your own learning to be more productive. If you'd like to open yourself to more opportunities, you can look into whether it's possible to transfer to a nearby school with higher income levels.

If not, don't be alarmed - it's possible that All Tribes Charter has all that you need for your ambition. And you can definitely be proactive about learning outside of your school, looking to your community or to the Internet to find more resources.
