Culver Park High

Summary:

Culver Park High is a public high school serving grades 10-12 in Culver City, California, part of the Culver City Unified School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of California high schools over the past decade, with low academic proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism.

Culver Park High's academic performance is significantly below average, with only around 6% of students scoring proficient or better on state assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's graduation rate has fluctuated between 79.2% and 95.7%, with a dropout rate ranging from 4.3% to 20.8%. In contrast, the nearby Culver City High ranks in the top 15% of California high schools, with much higher academic proficiency and a 95.7% graduation rate.

Culver Park High serves a predominantly low-income student population, which likely contributes to its academic and attendance challenges. Nearby schools with more diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, such as Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies and Alexander Hamilton Senior High, tend to have stronger academic performance. Without data on the school's resources, it is difficult to determine if Culver Park High is adequately supported to address the needs of its student population, but the stark contrast in outcomes suggests potential resource disparities that may need to be addressed.

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.
