Calaveras Hills

Summary:

Calaveras Hills is a small public high school in Milpitas, California, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Milpitas Unified School District. However, the school has consistently struggled, ranking in the bottom 25% of California high schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Calaveras Hills faces significant academic challenges, with only 27.27% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and a mere 4.55% proficient or better in mathematics, far below the district and state averages. The school also grapples with high dropout rates, ranging from 8.2% to 71.4% over the past few years, and chronic absenteeism rates as high as 75.7%. These issues are compounded by the school's high percentage of low-socioeconomic status students, which may contribute to the difficulties in supporting their academic and social-emotional needs.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Milpitas Middle College High and Milpitas High, Calaveras Hills stands out as an underperforming institution, with significantly lower academic performance, graduation rates, and higher dropout and chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for the students at Calaveras Hills.

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.
