Summary:

Bellflower High is a public high school located in Bellflower, California, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 2,070 students. It is part of the Bellflower Unified School District, which is ranked 837 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bellflower High has several strengths, including consistently high four-year graduation rates ranging from 94.7% to 98.3% over the past five years, significantly higher than the state average. The school also has relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.3% to 4.1% over the same period, lower than the state and district averages. However, Bellflower High has seen fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, from 0.3% to 26.5%, with the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 school years seeing higher rates, an area for improvement. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST, is generally on par with or slightly above the Bellflower Unified School District average, but below the state average in many subject areas and grade levels, suggesting room for improvement in academic achievement.

Compared to nearby schools, Mayfair High and Gahr (Richard) High, which are in neighboring districts, generally outperform Bellflower High, which lags behind these schools. Additionally, Bellflower High has a high percentage of students (over 80%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges and the need for additional resources and support.

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.
