Summary:

Arleta High is a public high school located in Arleta, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,174 students. It is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Arleta High has maintained a relatively high 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 93.0% to 96.2% over the past 5 years, which is higher than the state and district averages. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.1% in 2017-2018 to 39.4% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state and district averages. Arleta High's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the state and district averages, with only 26.67% to 33.74% of students proficient or better in ELA, 9.51% to 10.89% in Math, and 7.14% to 11.65% in Science over the past 3 years. The school's student subgroups, such as female, male, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, have generally performed lower than the state and district averages in terms of their statewide rankings.

Compared to nearby schools, Robert H. Lewis Continuation has significantly lower graduation rates and higher dropout and chronic absenteeism rates, while Valor Academy High, a charter school, outperforms Arleta High and the nearby district schools in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, chronic absenteeism, and test scores. Addressing the issues of chronic absenteeism and improving academic outcomes, particularly for underperforming student subgroups, could be key focus areas for Arleta High moving forward.

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.
