Orestimba High

Summary:

Orestimba High is a public high school located in Newman, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,045 students. It is part of the Newman-Crows Landing Unified School District, which is ranked 1286 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Orestimba High has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 94.3% to 98.0% over the past five years, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.4% in 2017-2018 to 35.4% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the state average and the nearby schools like Hilmar High and Patterson High. Orestimba High's test scores in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, but the school's science proficiency rates are significantly lower.

The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with relatively strong performance for Hispanic and English Language Learner students, but struggling with White and Special Education students, who rank significantly lower compared to the state. Orestimba High's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 616 out of 1290 California high schools in 2020-2021 to 1329 out of 2323 in 2023-2024, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and strategies to address these areas of concern and improve overall student outcomes.

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.
