Lee Vining High

Summary:

Lee Vining High is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in the rural town of Lee Vining, California, which is part of the Eastern Sierra Unified School District. With only 38 students enrolled in the 2022-2023 school year, the school has maintained an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate over the past two years, significantly outperforming the state average.

While Lee Vining High's test scores have been mixed compared to the district and state, the school has some notable strengths. In 2022-2023, its 11th-grade students performed better than the district and state in English Language Arts/Literacy, with 54.55% proficient or better. However, the school's Mathematics scores lagged behind, with only 18.18% of 11th-graders proficient or better. Additionally, the school has seen a decrease in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 81.63% in 2020-2021 to 21.05% in 2022-2023, suggesting a potential shift in the socioeconomic status of the student population.

One area of concern for Lee Vining High is the increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.7% in 2020-2021 to 18.4% in 2022-2023. This is a trend the school and district should address, as high chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Overall, Lee Vining High appears to be a school with a diverse student population, strong graduation and dropout rates, and some academic strengths, but also faces challenges in maintaining consistent performance and addressing attendance issues.

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.
