Ronald Reagan Academy

Summary:

Ronald Reagan Academy is a small public high school in Dinuba, California, serving 99 students in grades 9-12. Unfortunately, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of California high schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is alarmingly low, with only 15% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 54.88% for the Dinuba Unified School District and 55.73% for the state of California. Additionally, Ronald Reagan Academy struggles with high dropout rates, ranging from 5.9% to 15.4%, and chronic absenteeism as high as 76.5%. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated significantly, from a low of 47.8% to a high of 74.3%, well below state and district averages.

When compared to other schools in the area, the performance gap is stark. For example, Dinuba High School, just 0.92 miles away, has significantly higher academic achievement, graduation rates, and lower dropout and chronic absenteeism rates. Similarly, Sierra Vista High (Continuation), located adjacent to Ronald Reagan Academy, also struggles with low performance, suggesting systemic challenges within the district's alternative education options. However, Reedley Middle College High, a charter school in the Kings Canyon Joint Unified School District, stands out as an exception, with consistently high academic achievement and low chronic absenteeism, highlighting the potential for alternative educational models to better serve disadvantaged student populations.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
