Renaissance County Community

Summary:

Renaissance County Community is a public high school located in Hawthorne, California, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 129 students. The school is part of the Los Angeles County Office of Education district, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of California high schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Renaissance County Community has struggled with very low graduation rates, ranging from 31.4% to 42.2% over the past 5 years, which is significantly lower than the state average and the nearby Lawndale High (91.2%) and Environmental Charter High - Lawndale (96.1%). Correspondingly, the school has had high dropout rates, ranging from 25.5% to 45.5% over the past 5 years, which is much higher than the state average and the nearby schools. Additionally, Renaissance County Community has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 72.0% to 83.7% over the past 5 years, nearly double the rate of Lawndale High (37.2%) and Environmental Charter High - Lawndale (13.2%).

The data also shows that Renaissance County Community students perform very poorly on standardized tests compared to state and county averages. In 2023-2024, only 17.78% of 11th graders were proficient in ELA, 0% were proficient in Math, and 3.23% were proficient in Science, which are 40-60 percentage points lower than the surrounding schools and the state. This underperformance is likely exacerbated by the fact that Renaissance County Community serves a high-need population, with 73.64% to 80.6% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past 3 years, which is higher than the nearby schools.

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.
