Chaparral High

Summary:

Chaparral High is a public high school located in Phelan, California, serving grades 9-12 with a relatively small student population of 193 students. The school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of California high schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Chaparral High's academic performance is particularly concerning, with proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 20.48% of 11th-grade students were proficient in ELA, compared to 42.93% for the Snowline Joint Unified district and 55.73% for the state. The school's performance on the CAST Science assessment is also very low, with only 4.94% of 11th-grade students scoring proficient or better, compared to 22.87% for the district and 32.08% for the state. Chaparral High's graduation and dropout rates have also been variable, ranging from a low of 67.8% graduation rate in 2019-2020 to a high of 90.0% in 2022-2023, and a dropout rate as high as 25.2% in 2019-2020.

Interestingly, Chaparral High's academic performance is significantly lower than that of the nearby Serrano High School, which is part of the same school district and consistently ranks in the top 50% of California high schools. Additionally, the Cobalt Institute of Math and Science, a public charter school located about 12 miles away, outperforms Chaparral High across all academic measures, with proficiency rates that are often more than double Chaparral's. These comparisons highlight the significant challenges Chaparral High faces in providing a high-quality education to its students.

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.
