North Valley High

Summary:

North Valley High is a public high school located in Anderson, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 90 students. The school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-15% of California high schools and underperforming compared to state and district averages across various academic metrics.

North Valley High's academic performance is significantly below the state and Anderson Union High District averages, with only 8.7% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2023-2024, compared to 43.21% in the district and 55.73% statewide. The school also struggles with low graduation rates, ranging from 41.4% to 60.6%, and high dropout rates, ranging from 26.8% to 35.4%, which are much higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, North Valley High has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 80.6% to 93.3%, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Comparing North Valley High to nearby schools, such as West Valley Early College High and Anderson New Technology High, highlights the significant performance gap. These nearby schools generally have higher academic proficiency rates, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. The high proportion of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at North Valley High may be a contributing factor to the school's underperformance, and targeted interventions and support, as well as collaboration with higher-performing schools, could help address these challenges.

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.
