High Schools in Russell Westbrook Why Not? High District

There is only one high school located in the Russell Westbrook Why Not? High District in California - Russell Westbrook Why Not? High. This public charter high school serves grades 9-12 and has a total enrollment of 224 students. While the school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 96.6%, it faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a predominantly low-income student population.

Russell Westbrook Why Not? High's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST, has declined over the past two years, with the school consistently performing below the state averages in both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 51.9% is significantly higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to the declining academic performance.

Additionally, the high percentage of students (86.16%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may present additional challenges in terms of academic support and resources. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated over the past few years, from a 3-star rating in 2023-2024 to a 1-star rating in 2021-2022, indicating the need for consistent improvement efforts by the school's leadership and the district.
