Florin High

Summary:

Florin High is a public high school located in Sacramento, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,676 students. It is part of the Elk Grove Unified School District, which is ranked 594 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Florin High has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of California high schools, ranking between 1,207 and 1,399 out of around 2,300 schools over the past several years. Its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 39.77% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 51.24% for the Elk Grove Unified School District and 55.73% for the state of California. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 83.0% in 2020-2021 to 93.0% in 2019-2020, but the most recent rate of 84.6% in 2022-2023 is still lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, Florin High has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 17.5% in 2017-2018 to 30.1% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby high schools in the Elk Grove Unified School District, such as Pleasant Grove High, Sheldon High, and Monterey Trail High, Florin High's academic performance and other key metrics are generally lower. However, Florin High performs better than some other nearby schools, such as Daylor (William) High (Continuation), Calvine High, and Nathaniel S. Colley Senior High, which are lower-performing schools with even lower test scores, graduation rates, and higher chronic absenteeism.

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.
