Summary:

La Vista High (Continuation) is a public high school located in Fullerton, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 396 students. It is part of the Fullerton Joint Union High School District, which is ranked 383 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

La Vista High (Continuation) consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of California high schools, with significantly lower academic performance, a high dropout rate, and a low four-year graduation rate compared to the district and state averages. The school also has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 63.2% to 76.6% in recent years. Additionally, 76.26% of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's underperformance is consistent across various student subgroups, including female, male, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

In contrast, nearby schools like Sunny Hills High, Fullerton Union High, and Troy High have significantly higher academic performance, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. As a continuation high school, La Vista High likely serves a unique population of students who may have struggled in a traditional high school setting, and addressing the key challenges identified, such as chronic absenteeism and providing targeted academic interventions, could be crucial for improving the educational outcomes and opportunities for the students at the school.

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.
