John Swett High

Summary:

John Swett High is a public high school located in Crockett, California, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 380. The school is part of the John Swett Unified School District, which is ranked 1102 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

John Swett High has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, placing it in the middle range compared to other California high schools. However, the school has faced some challenges, including a decline in its four-year graduation rates, from 93.5% in 2018-2019 to 80.7% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the state average and some of the nearby schools like Benicia High. Additionally, the school's dropout rate has fluctuated, reaching as high as 15.9% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average and some of the nearby schools such as Hercules High. John Swett High has also experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 23.9% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and most of the nearby schools.

The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and male students performing relatively well, but Asian students and African American students struggling, ranking in the bottom quartile of California high schools. John Swett High's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have remained relatively stable over the past few years, with proficiency rates generally below the state average and the nearby higher-performing schools like Liberty High. The school's challenges may be partly attributed to its relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 61.84% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, as well as its slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 17.2 compared to the state average and some of the nearby schools.

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.
