Inderkum High

Summary:

Inderkum High is a public high school located in Sacramento, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,266 students. The school is part of the Natomas Unified School District, which is ranked 869 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Inderkum High has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 96.4% to 98.3% over the past five school years, significantly higher than the state average and the Natomas Unified School District average. The school also has relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.4% to 2.1% over the same period, lower than the state and district averages. However, Inderkum High has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.1% in the 2017-2018 school year to 20.1% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the state and district averages.

Inderkum High students generally perform better than the Natomas Unified School District and the state average on standardized tests, such as the Smarter Balanced Assessments and the California Science Test (CAST). However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with some groups, such as Asian students and multi-racial students, performing significantly lower than others. This suggests the need for the school to address equity and achievement gaps among its diverse student population.

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.
