Summary:
The Laton Joint Unified school district has only one high school, Laton High, which serves students in grades 9-12. Despite a relatively high graduation rate of 94.7% and low dropout rate of 0.0%, Laton High faces academic challenges, with test scores in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science significantly below the state averages.
Laton High's statewide School Digger ranking has declined over the past three years, from 964 out of 2,123 California high schools in 2021-2022 to 1,508 out of 2,323 in 2023-2024, suggesting a relative decline in the school's performance compared to other high schools in the state. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (83.02%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population, which may present unique challenges and require targeted support and resources.
Despite its small size, with only 159 students, Laton High's student-teacher ratio of 12.1 is lower than the state average, suggesting opportunities for more personalized attention and support. However, the school's limited size may also limit the range of course offerings and extracurricular activities available to students. Overall, the analysis of Laton High highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and overall school performance.
