Highland High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 609 out of 1,994 California high schools in 2014-2015 to 1,153 out of 2,123 in 2021-2022.

The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with higher rankings for African American and Hispanic students compared to Asian and White students. Highland High also performs better for English Language Learners and Special Education students than for Disabled students. However, the school has experienced a decline in its four-year graduation rate, from 93.5% in 2019-2020 to 86.0% in 2022-2023, and a corresponding increase in its dropout rate from 3.6% in 2018-2019 to 5.9% in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools within the Kern High School District, Del Oro High and Mira Monte High, Highland High generally performs better. However, it lags behind South High and East Bakersfield High in terms of academic performance and other key metrics. Highland High's academic performance, particularly in core subject areas, is also lower than the district and state averages, which may be influenced by the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 79.15% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

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.

Through the collection of pre-pandemic (2019) and current data, SchoolDigger.com is sharing test scores, enrollment numbers and school demographics from schools across the country – and we make it easy to see how impacted schools compare locally and statewide.
