Orange Grove High

Summary:

Orange Grove High is a small public high school in Corona, California, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Corona-Norco Unified School District. However, the school has consistently struggled academically, ranking among the lowest-performing high schools in the state.

Orange Grove High's academic performance is significantly below the district and state averages, with 0% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics in the 2023-2024 school year. The school also has low graduation rates, ranging from 63.5% to 80.8% in recent years, and alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 75.2% in the 2022-2023 school year. These challenges are particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic, low socioeconomic status, and disabled students, whose performance ranks among the lowest in the state.

In contrast, neighboring high schools within the Corona-Norco Unified School District, such as Eleanor Roosevelt High, Santiago High, and John F. Kennedy High, consistently rank among the top 10-20% of California high schools, with much higher academic achievement, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. Addressing the challenges at Orange Grove High will require a concerted effort from the district, school leadership, and the community to provide the necessary resources and support to improve outcomes for its students.

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.
