Live Oak High

Summary:

Live Oak High is a public high school located in Morgan Hill, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,137 students. The school is part of the Morgan Hill Unified School District, which is ranked 740 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Live Oak High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, dropping from a high of 444 out of 1,994 California high schools in 2014-2015 to a current ranking of 951 out of 2,323 in 2023-2024, the school has made progress in improving its graduation and dropout rates. The four-year graduation rate has increased from 84.9% in 2019-2020 to 94.6% in 2022-2023, and the dropout rate has decreased from 10.7% to 2.7% during the same period. However, the school's performance in Smarter Balanced Assessments and the California Science Assessment lags behind the district and state averages, suggesting a need for targeted interventions to improve academic outcomes.

Compared to nearby schools, Ann Sobrato High, which is also part of the Morgan Hill Unified School District, generally performs better than Live Oak High, while larger high schools like Santa Teresa High and Leland High, which are part of different districts, outperform Live Oak High across various academic metrics. Addressing the identified areas of concern, particularly the uneven student group performance and underperformance in assessments, should be a priority for the school and district to ensure equitable and high-quality educational opportunities for all students.

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.
