Escalon High

Summary:

Escalon High is a public high school located in Escalon, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 812 students. The school is part of the Escalon Unified School District, which is ranked 1025 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Escalon High has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 95.2% to 98.9% over the past five school years, significantly higher than the state average and the graduation rates of nearby schools like Vista High (Continuation), which had a 68.2% graduation rate in 2022-2023. The school's dropout rates have also been relatively low, ranging from 0.6% to 3.2% over the past five school years, lower than the dropout rates of nearby schools like Vista High (Continuation) and Adelante High. Escalon High's performance on standardized tests, such as the Smarter Balanced Assessments and the California Science Test (CAST), is generally on par with or slightly above the Escalon Unified School District and the state averages.

While Escalon High's overall performance is strong, the school faces challenges in addressing the needs of its more vulnerable student populations, such as English Language Learners and students with disabilities. The school's rankings for these student subgroups have been among the lowest in the state, with 0 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars in recent years. Compared to higher-performing nearby schools like Fred C. Beyer High, James C. Enochs High, and Ripon High, Escalon High lags behind in several key metrics, which may be partly due to its significant population of low-socioeconomic status students, with 40.39% receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

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.
