Washington High is a public high school located in Fremont, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,931 students. It is part of the Fremont Unified School District, which is ranked 174 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Washington High has consistently ranked in the top 15% of California high schools, with strong academic performance on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts/Literacy and Science. The school also excels in supporting certain student subgroups, such as African American and Multi-racial students, as well as English Language Learners. Additionally, Washington High maintains a high four-year graduation rate and a relatively low dropout rate, outperforming the state and district averages. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, which is an area that needs to be addressed.

While Washington High's academic performance is generally stronger than nearby Irvington High and John F. Kennedy High, other schools in the Fremont Unified School District, such as American High and Irvington High, outperform Washington High in several academic metrics. Additionally, the school's performance for Asian and Hispanic students, as well as Special Education students, is an area of concern that the school and district should address.

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.
