Mammoth High

Summary:

Mammoth High is a public high school located in Mammoth Lakes, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 351 students. The school is part of the Mammoth Unified School District, which is ranked 546 out of 1,568 school districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mammoth High has consistently performed well on state assessments, with 54.55% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 21.79% proficient or better in Mathematics in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance in Science is particularly strong, with 39.74% of 11th-grade students proficient or better on the CAST assessment, outperforming the district and state averages. Mammoth High has also maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 86.4% to 98.0% over the past five years, which is generally higher than the state average. However, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 12.5% to 17.7% over the past five years, which is a concern and may impact student learning and achievement.

Mammoth High's diverse student population, with a significant percentage of Hispanic students (around 50%) and a smaller percentage of White students (around 40%), highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable outcomes for all students. While White students at Mammoth High consistently perform better than their Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) peers, the school's ELL students rank in the bottom 15% of California high schools, indicating a need for additional resources and support. The presence of small, specialized schools like Sierra High (Continuation) and Jan Work Community in the area suggests that the Mammoth Lakes community may have unique educational needs and challenges that require a range of school options to serve the diverse student population.

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.
