Summary:

Inglewood High is a public high school located in Inglewood, California, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 827. The school is part of the Inglewood Unified School District, which is ranked 1267 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Inglewood High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California high schools over the past decade, with its statewide ranking ranging from 1057 out of 1290 schools in 2020-2021 to 1813 out of 2348 schools in 2022-2023. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 32.41% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 55.73% statewide, and just 4.19% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 27.9% statewide. Inglewood High's performance on the California Science Test (CAST) is also low, with only 4.72% of 11th-grade students and 4.59% of all students proficient or better in 2023-2024. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from 84.1% in 2020-2021 to 94.8% in 2021-2022, and its dropout rate has been a concern, ranging from 2.8% in 2021-2022 to 13.0% in 2019-2020.

In contrast, the nearby Animo Inglewood Charter High and City Honors International Preparatory High have significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates in the 60-80% range for English Language Arts/Literacy and 17-32% for Mathematics. These charter schools also have higher graduation rates (94.9% to 98.4%) and lower chronic absenteeism (3.9% to 30.1%) compared to Inglewood High. The stark contrast in performance highlights the need for Inglewood High to implement targeted interventions and support programs to improve academic achievement, address high chronic absenteeism, and explore opportunities for collaboration with higher-performing schools in the area.

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.
