Chaparral High (Continuation)

Summary:

Chaparral High (Continuation) is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in San Dimas, California, part of the Bonita Unified School District. With just 96 students, the school has consistently underperformed academically compared to the district and state, with low proficiency rates in English and math.

Chaparral High has struggled with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and very high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 54.5% to 75% over the past 5 years. The school's performance lags significantly behind nearby traditional high schools like Bonita High and San Dimas High, which have much higher academic achievement, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. As a continuation school, Chaparral High serves students who have struggled in traditional settings, and the data suggests the continuation model may not be effectively meeting their needs.

Factors like the school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (over 59%) and small size with a high student-to-teacher ratio (8.1) may be contributing to the challenges. Targeted interventions, additional support services, and a closer examination of the continuation school model could be necessary to improve student outcomes at Chaparral High.

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.
