Calico Continuation High

Summary:

Calico Continuation High is a small public high school in Yermo, California, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of just 31 students. As part of the Silver Valley Unified School District, which is ranked 850 out of 1,568 districts in the state, Calico Continuation High has consistently struggled, ranking in the bottom 25% of California high schools over the past decade.

The school faces significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, which have risen from 32.6% in 2017-2018 to an alarming 88.6% in 2021-2022. Academically, Calico Continuation High students consistently perform below state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 36.36% of 11th-graders proficient or better in ELA in 2023-2024, compared to 55.73% statewide and 57.29% in the Silver Valley Unified School District. While the school has seen some improvement in graduation rates, reaching 100% in 2020-2021, its dropout rates have remained high, ranging from 0% to 5% over the past few years.

Interestingly, Calico Continuation High's performance is significantly lower than that of its neighboring school, Silver Valley High, which is also part of the Silver Valley Unified School District. Silver Valley High consistently ranks in the top 25% of California high schools and outperforms Calico Continuation High in academic achievement, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. This suggests that district-level factors, such as resource allocation and leadership, may play a significant role in shaping the outcomes of individual schools within the district.

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.
