Summary:

Clear Lake High is a public high school located in Lakeport, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 357 students. The school is part of the Lakeport Unified School District.

Clear Lake High has demonstrated some strengths, such as consistently high four-year graduation rates ranging from 92.7% to 96.2%, which are significantly higher than the state and district averages. However, the school has also faced challenges, including a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.9% in 2017-2018 to 32.7% in the most recent 2022-2023 school year. Academically, Clear Lake High's test scores on the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST (California Science Test) have been mixed, with English Language Arts/Literacy proficiency rates higher than the district average but lower than the state average, and mathematics and science proficiency rates significantly lower than both the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools, such as the continuation school Natural High, Clear Lake High's performance is generally lower, particularly in the areas of test scores and graduation rates. Additionally, the school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 56.58% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic performance challenges. These findings suggest the need for the Lakeport Unified School District to closely examine the factors contributing to Clear Lake High's relative underperformance and implement targeted interventions to address these issues.

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.
