Lemoore High

Summary:

Lemoore High is a public high school serving 1,861 students in grades 9-12 in Lemoore, California, which is part of the Lemoore Union High School District. The school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, with its highest ranking being 509 out of 1,290 California high schools in the 2020-2021 school year.

Lemoore High's key strengths include consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 94.9% to 96.9% over the past five school years, and relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 1.6% to 3.8%. The school's performance on standardized tests is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, with its strongest performance in English Language Arts/Literacy. Lemoore High's military-connected student population also performs well, ranking in the top 20 to 116 out of 234 California high schools in this subgroup over the past three school years. However, the school faces challenges in addressing high chronic absenteeism rates, which have varied significantly from 5.8% to 31.6% over the past few years.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Jamison (Donald C.) High and Earl F. Johnson High, which are continuation and alternative schools, Lemoore High's performance is generally stronger, with higher test scores, graduation rates, and lower dropout and chronic absenteeism rates. The school's relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 50% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggests that Lemoore High is effectively supporting its economically disadvantaged students to achieve strong academic outcomes.

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.
