Mt. Eden High

Summary:

Mt. Eden High is a public high school in Hayward, California, serving 1,947 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Hayward Unified School District, which is ranked 1235 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Mt. Eden High performs moderately, ranking in the top half of California high schools over the past decade. While the school's test scores are generally higher than the district average, they fall short of the state average. For example, in 2023-2024, 49.46% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 39.54% for the district and 55.73% for the state. In mathematics, 21.59% of 11th-graders were proficient, compared to 14.31% for the district and 27.9% for the state. The school's graduation rate has ranged from 84.3% to 94.8% over the past five years, which is higher than the district but lower than the state average.

One notable concern is the school's significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 17.5% in 2017-2018 to 49.0% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Asian and African American students performing lower compared to their peers statewide, while Hispanic and English Language Learner students perform better. The school's performance for students with disabilities is particularly concerning, ranking in the bottom 10% of California high schools in this category. The presence of several nearby lower-performing schools and higher-performing charter schools in the area may be influencing Mt. Eden High's overall performance and student population, as well as the socioeconomic challenges faced by the school's student body.

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.
