Happy Camp High

Summary:

Happy Camp High is a small public high school in Happy Camp, California, serving around 60 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Siskiyou Union High School District, which is ranked 569 out of 1,563 districts in the state.

While Happy Camp High has a unique racial makeup, with a higher percentage of Native American students compared to the state average, the school has consistently underperformed the district and state in academic measures. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school had 0% proficiency in math and science, significantly lower than the district's 21.21% and 20.69% respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate has also fluctuated, ranging from 71.4% to 92.9% in recent years, and its dropout rate has been as high as 28.6%.

Another area of concern is Happy Camp High's high chronic absenteeism rate, which reached 75.8% in the 2021-2022 school year, far exceeding the state average of 14.3%. Additionally, a large proportion of the school's students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 63.33% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes at Happy Camp High.

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.
