El Camino High

Summary:

El Camino High is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Rohnert Park, California, with just 60 students enrolled. The school is part of the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District, which is ranked 907 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

El Camino High consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of California high schools, with test scores significantly below the state and district averages. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 5.26% of students were proficient or better in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, compared to 40.28% and 25.66% for the district, respectively. The school also struggles with high dropout rates, ranging from 11.0% to 18.0% in recent years, and chronic absenteeism as high as 95.5% in the 2018-2019 school year. These challenges are likely exacerbated by the high percentage of low socioeconomic status students, with 56.67% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to nearby schools, El Camino High's performance is significantly lower than the high-performing Technology High and the mid-performing Rancho Cotate High, both of which are also part of the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District. Even when compared to nearby continuation and alternative high schools, such as San Antonio High and Valley Oaks High, El Camino High's performance is relatively low, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
