West Shores High

Summary:

West Shores High is a public high school located in Salton City, California, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 520 students. The school is part of the Coachella Valley Unified School District, which is ranked 1332 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Shores High consistently performs below the Coachella Valley Unified School District and the state of California in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 33.33% of 11th-grade students at West Shores High were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 35.72% in the district and 55.73% statewide. The school's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1197 out of 2426 high schools in 2012-2013 to 1688 out of 2323 high schools in 2023-2024. Additionally, West Shores High has experienced fluctuations in its four-year graduation rate, ranging from a high of 84.8% in 2019-2020 to a low of 66.7% in 2020-2021, and a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 17.6% in 2017-2018 to 46.6% in 2022-2023.

The school serves a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 90.58% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's performance across different student subgroups, such as gender, race/ethnicity, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities, is consistently lower than the state averages, indicating significant achievement gaps. These challenges suggest that West Shores High may be struggling to provide a quality education and equitable opportunities for its diverse 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.
