Dr Bob Forinash Community Day

Summary:

Dr Bob Forinash Community Day is a small public high school serving grades 7-12 in Lompoc, California, part of the Lompoc Unified School District. With just 26 students, the school faces significant challenges, including extremely low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a highly disadvantaged student population.

Dr Bob Forinash Community Day has abysmal academic performance, with 0% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science on state assessments. This is significantly lower than the Lompoc Unified district and the state of California averages. The school also has alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 94.3% in the 2022-2023 school year, more than three times higher than nearby Cabrillo High and Lompoc High. Additionally, the school serves a high proportion of low-income students, with 76.92% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the surrounding high schools.

Despite its proximity to higher-performing schools in the same district, Dr Bob Forinash Community Day consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in California, suggesting the school may not be effectively leveraging the resources and best practices of its counterparts. Addressing the root causes of the school's chronic absenteeism and providing targeted support for its highly disadvantaged student population could be crucial for improving outcomes and providing a better educational experience 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.
