Paso Robles High

Summary:

Paso Robles High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,093 students in Paso Robles, California. The school is part of the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District, which is ranked 841 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Paso Robles High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 372nd out of 2,021 California high schools in 2016-2017 to 919th out of 2,323 in 2023-2024. Its SchoolDigger rating has also varied between 3 and 4 stars out of 5. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students generally outperforming male students and White students outperforming Hispanic students. Paso Robles High struggles with lower rankings for English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Military Connected students. While the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate, it has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 18.0% in 2017-2018 to 24.3% in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, Paso Robles High's performance is generally stronger than Independence High and Liberty High (Continuation), which are also part of the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District. However, it lags behind the higher-performing schools in the Atascadero Unified and Templeton Unified districts, such as Morro Bay High, Templeton High, and Atascadero High. Paso Robles High also serves a significant population of students from low-income families, with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to some of the academic and attendance challenges observed.

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.
