Blue Ridge High School

Summary:

Blue Ridge High School is a public high school in Lakeside, Arizona, serving 669 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Blue Ridge Unified School District No. 32. The school's student population is diverse, with 46.04% White, 25.11% Hispanic, and 23.32% Native American students.

Blue Ridge High School's performance has been mixed in recent years. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from 80.8% in 2020-2021 to 88.2% in 2021-2022, which is generally lower than the state average. The school's dropout rate has also varied, from 1.9% in 2019-2020 to 7.9% in 2020-2021, with the most recent rate of 4.9% being higher than the state average. On standardized tests, the school's performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics has been below the state average, with only 34% and 31% of 11th-grade students, respectively, scoring proficient or better.

Compared to nearby schools, Sequoia Village High School has a higher graduation rate and better test scores in some subjects, while White Mountain Institute has a lower graduation rate but higher test scores in certain areas. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (48.88% in 2022-2023) suggests a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the school's overall academic performance and the need for additional resources and support.

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.
