Summary:

Silver Springs High (Continuation) is a public high school located in Grass Valley, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 191 students. The school is part of the Nevada Joint Union High School District, which is ranked 440 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Silver Springs High (Continuation) has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of California high schools over the past several years, with a ranking as low as 2,260 out of 2,348 schools in 2022-2023. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 20% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and 2.94% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 55.73% and 27.9%, respectively. Additionally, the school has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 94.2% in 2022-2023, and a concerning dropout rate, which has ranged from 22.4% to 32.3% over the past five years. These metrics are significantly worse than the state and district averages, indicating that the school is struggling to keep students engaged and attending regularly.

The data reveals a stark contrast between Silver Springs High (Continuation) and the nearby high schools, such as Bear River High, William & Marian Ghidotti High, and North Point Academy. These schools consistently outperform Silver Springs High (Continuation) across various metrics, including academic achievement, graduation rates, and attendance. This suggests that the challenges faced by Silver Springs High (Continuation) are not necessarily reflective of the broader educational landscape in the region, and there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and support.

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.
