Alessandro High

Summary:

Alessandro High is a public high school located in Hemet, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 314 students. The school is part of the Hemet Unified School District, which is ranked 1185 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alessandro High has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of California high schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has struggled with low graduation rates, ranging from 48.8% to 74.0%, and correspondingly high dropout rates, ranging from 15.1% to 24.4%. Additionally, Alessandro High has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 74.4% to 95.8%, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Academically, the school's students perform poorly on standardized tests, with only 11.59% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 0.72% proficient or better in Mathematics, far below the Hemet Unified and California averages.

While the nearby West Valley High and Tahquitz High perform significantly better than Alessandro High on key metrics, the school does have a bright spot in its relatively strong performance for English Language Learner students. However, the high rates of poverty and socioeconomic disadvantage at Alessandro High, with 85.35% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing to the school's overall low performance.

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.
