Citrus Hills Intermediate

Summary:

Citrus Hills Intermediate is a public middle school located in Corona, California, serving grades 7-8 with a student population of 987. It is part of the Corona-Norco Unified School District, which is ranked 579 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Citrus Hills Intermediate performs reasonably well compared to the state average, but lags behind the district and some nearby schools like Dr. Augustine Ramirez Intermediate and River Heights Intermediate. The school's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science tests is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, with 53.47% proficient or better in ELA and 32.71% in Math. However, the school's performance has declined slightly over the past few years. Citrus Hills Intermediate's diverse student population, with a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, presents both challenges and opportunities for improvement.

One area of concern at Citrus Hills Intermediate is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 5.1% in 2017-2018 to 15.4% in 2021-2022, higher than the Corona-Norco Unified School District average of 13.8%. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, such as socioeconomic factors, engagement, and school climate, could be an important area of focus for the school and district. Additionally, targeting interventions for underperforming student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and students with disabilities, could help improve overall academic performance.

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.
