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.

Open Quote My daughter's first 2 days at this Etiwanda High School have gone as follows: 1st day USB/Picture day, slip says credit cards accepted. Get there 90 minutes early to be first in line just to be told they don't take credit cards because the machine is not working. Hey, it's not like someone at the school could put out a sign or anything, so I could have gone at the beginning. Go 4 miles each way to an ATM so that I can get cash, run all the way back from the parking lot to make the window to get everything purchased only to be told by a flunky to wait in a mile-long line again (which we did not do). 2nd Day orientation, wait all day for daughter to tell me that the Spanish class she picked got changed to useless latin even though we hand delivered all of the requested paper work the first day we received it before summer even started. Go to talk to the counselors and have them tell us 900 other students got ahead of us even though we turned in paperwork early because the system possibly assigns classes by alphabetic order. This is in addition to the fact that my daughter is a 4.0 Gate student who's never missed a day of school. Then after talking to the principal, not even he can get it fixed, but tells me to call on Friday. It seems this school is totally inept. I hope to change my opinion in the future, but this has been the worst start to any school either of my children have attended. I should have sent her to Los Osos. Close Quote

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.
