McClellan High (Continuation)

Summary:

McClellan High (Continuation) is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Antelope, California, part of the Center Joint Unified school district. With only 99 students, the school faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high dropout and chronic absenteeism rates, and low graduation rates.

McClellan High consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of California high schools, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 28.57% on standardized tests. The school has struggled with high dropout rates, ranging from 14% to 22.7% in recent years, and extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 78.8% in 2020-2021. Its four-year graduation rates have been inconsistent, ranging from a low of 42.4% in 2019-2020 to a high of 76.7% in 2021-2022, significantly lower than the state and district averages.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Center High, which is less than a mile away, McClellan High stands out as an outlier in terms of academic performance, attendance, and graduation rates. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, with its ranking for Hispanic students and low-socioeconomic status students in the bottom 40% of California high schools. As a continuation high school, McClellan faces unique challenges in serving students who may have struggled in traditional high school settings, and the data suggests the school is not effectively meeting the needs of its predominantly low-income student population.

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.
