Q: Is Griffin Academy High a good school?

Griffin Academy High ranks 799 th of 2323 California high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Griffin Academy High is a public charter high school located in Vallejo, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 153 students. The school is part of the Griffin Academy High District, which is ranked 488 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Griffin Academy High's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly above the state averages in English Language Arts/Literacy and Science, but below the state averages in Mathematics. Compared to nearby schools, the school performs better than Liberty High and John Finney High (Continuation) in all subject areas, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Angelo Rodriguez High, Benicia High, and American Canyon High. The school's African American and English Language Learner students perform exceptionally well, ranking 84 out of 721 and 84 out of 1,350 California high schools, respectively, in the 2023-2024 school year.

However, Griffin Academy High faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 36.6% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average and most of the nearby schools. Additionally, the school's Hispanic and low socioeconomic status students perform below the state average. The school's small size (153 students) may contribute to its performance, as larger schools often have more resources and opportunities for students. Continued focus on data-driven interventions and strategies to support student engagement and learning could help the school address these areas for improvement.

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.
