La Habra High

Summary:

La Habra High is a public high school serving 2,054 students in grades 9-12 in La Habra, California, which is part of the Fullerton Joint Union High School District. The school has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and has been ranked between 431 and 945 out of over 2,000 California high schools in the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 670.

La Habra High has several strengths, including consistently high 4-year graduation rates ranging from 96.9% to 98.9% over the past 5 years, which are significantly higher than the state average. However, the school faces challenges in academic performance, particularly in Mathematics, where only 24.15% of students were proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 43.02% for the district and 27.9% for the state. Additionally, La Habra High has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.3% in 2017-2018 to 16.8% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Fullerton Union High, Sunny Hills High, Brea Olinda High, and La Serna High, La Habra High generally performs in the middle to lower range in terms of test scores, graduation rates, and other key metrics. This may be partly due to the school's relatively high percentage of students (63% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is a proxy for low socioeconomic status.

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.
