Sierra Vista High

Summary:

Sierra Vista High is a public high school located in Baldwin Park, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,752 students. The school is part of the Baldwin Park Unified School District, which is ranked 966 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sierra Vista High consistently ranks in the top 35% of California high schools, with a current ranking of 619 out of 2,323 schools. The school's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST exams is significantly higher than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts/Literacy. Sierra Vista High also maintains a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 91.5% to 96.7% over the past five years, outperforming the district and state averages. Additionally, the school performs exceptionally well in supporting certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While Sierra Vista High outperforms the nearby Baldwin Park High School and North Park Continuation High School on most academic metrics, the school lags behind some other nearby high schools, such as Arroyo High and Edgewood High, which have higher overall rankings and stronger academic performance. Additionally, Sierra Vista High struggles to support its special education student population, ranking in the bottom 25% of California high schools for this subgroup, and the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, reaching 31.0% in 2021-2022, which is an area of concern.

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.
