Deep Creek Academy

Summary:

Deep Creek Academy is a public high school located in Farmersville, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 52 students. The school is part of the Farmersville Unified School District, which is ranked 1388 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Deep Creek Academy has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in California, with 0% proficiency in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science for both 11th-grade and end-of-course assessments. The school has struggled with high dropout rates, ranging from 3.1% to 63.3%, and extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 98.7%. Compared to the nearby Farmersville High School, which is also part of the Farmersville Unified School District, Deep Creek Academy's performance is significantly lower, with better academic proficiency rates, higher graduation rates, and lower dropout and chronic absenteeism rates.

When compared to schools outside the Farmersville Unified District, such as Redwood High and Mt. Whitney High in the Visalia Unified District, Deep Creek Academy's performance is even more starkly contrasted, with these schools having significantly higher academic proficiency rates, graduation rates, and lower dropout and chronic absenteeism rates. The school's declining performance over the years and its particularly low performance for specific student subgroups, such as male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, suggest that significant interventions and support are needed to improve student outcomes.

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.
