Elsinore High has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 92.1% to 95.8% over the past five years, which is higher than the district's overall graduation rate and places the school in the top half of California high schools for this metric.

Academically, Elsinore High's performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science tests, is generally below the state and district averages, with only 40.65% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 15.96% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 55.73% and 27.9%, respectively.

Elsinore High's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and English Language Learner students having the lowest rankings, while Asian and White students perform better relative to their peers statewide. Compared to nearby schools, such as Lakeside High and Temescal Canyon High, which are also part of the Lake Elsinore Unified School District, Elsinore High's performance is generally lower. However, the school outperforms some schools in the neighboring Perris Union High School District, such as Liberty High and Paloma Valley High.

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.
