Orange Vista High

Summary:

Orange Vista High is a public high school located in Perris, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,595 students. The school is part of the Val Verde Unified School District, which is ranked 1002 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Orange Vista High has several strengths, including consistently high four-year graduation rates ranging from 97.8% to 99.1% over the past five school years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school also has low dropout rates, ranging from 0.7% to 1.7% over the past five years, lower than the district and state averages. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.7% in 2017-2018 to 49.2% in 2020-2021, a concerning trend. In academic performance, Orange Vista High outperforms the district in English Language Arts/Literacy but underperforms the state average, with 54.52% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024. In Mathematics, the school's performance is significantly lower than both the district and state averages, with only 13.46% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024.

When compared to other high schools in the same district, such as Rancho Verde High and Val Verde High, Orange Vista High generally performs better in terms of graduation rates and dropout rates, but lags behind in chronic absenteeism. The school's challenges may be attributed to its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 86.17% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. Addressing these issues, while leveraging the school's strengths, could help improve overall student outcomes and better prepare them for future success.

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.
