Summary:

Orosi High is a public high school located in Orosi, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,049 students. It is part of the Cutler-Orosi Joint Unified School District, which is ranked 988 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Orosi High has consistently performed better than its district and the state of California in various standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts/Literacy. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 59.81% of Orosi High's 11th-grade students were proficient or better in Smarter Balanced Assessments/English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 56.19% for the district and 55.73% for the state. The school's Hispanic students and English Language Learner students have also performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 30% and top 20% of California high schools, respectively, in recent years. Additionally, Orosi High has maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 93.9% to 98.4% over the past five years, consistently outperforming the state average.

While Orosi High's chronic absenteeism rate has increased from 7.2% in 2017-2018 to 16.7% in 2022-2023, it is still lower than the state average. However, the school's performance for Special Education and Disabled students is an area of concern, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom 30% and bottom 20% of California high schools, respectively. Compared to nearby schools, Orosi High generally outperforms Lovell High, but lags behind the higher-performing Reedley High and Reedley Middle College High, which are part of the Kings Canyon Joint Unified School District.

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.
