Ramona High

Summary:

Ramona High is a public high school located in Riverside, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,220 students. It is part of the Riverside Unified School District, which is ranked 774 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Ramona High's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 48.68% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 57.22% for the Riverside Unified district and 55.73% for the state of California. In mathematics, the proficiency rate for 11th-grade students was only 16.01%, significantly lower than the district (23.38%) and state (27.9%) averages. The school's performance on the California Science Test (CAST) for 11th-grade students is also below the district and state, with only 20.45% proficient or better in 2023-2024. However, Ramona High has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 96.9% to 97.7% over the past five years, which is comparable to or slightly higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, Ramona High's academic performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools, such as Polytechnic High and Arlington High, which are also part of the Riverside Unified School District. These schools have higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, Ramona High has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state, ranging from 11.1% to 19.6% over the past five years, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance. The school also faces significant disparities in performance across different student subgroups, with some, such as African American students, performing relatively well, while others, like English Language Learners and Special Education students, performing poorly.

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.
