Credence High

Summary:

Credence High is a small public high school in Susanville, California, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of only 30 students. The school is part of the Lassen Union High School District, which is ranked 1144 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Credence High has consistently underperformed compared to the state and its neighboring school, Lassen High. In the 2022-2023 school year, Credence High had 0% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, while Lassen High had significantly higher proficiency rates. Credence High also struggles with low graduation rates, with only 33.3% of students graduating in 4 years in 2022-2023, compared to Lassen High's 96.1% graduation rate. Additionally, Credence High has had an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 100% for the past three school years, much higher than the 20.1% rate at Lassen High.

The data suggests that Credence High requires significant interventions and support to address its academic, attendance, and graduation rate issues. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and chronic absenteeism at Credence High may indicate that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be contributing to its poor performance. Strategies focused on improving student engagement, providing targeted academic support, and addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors may be necessary to turn the school's performance around.

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.
