Additionally, Prospect High (Continuation) has very high dropout rates, ranging from 18.8% to 36.6% over the past several years, and extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 93.2% in the most recent year. The school's four-year graduation rates have been consistently low, ranging from 48.6% to 67.1% over the past several years, significantly below the state average.

While continuation schools often serve students who have struggled in traditional high school settings, Prospect High (Continuation)'s performance is notably worse than other continuation schools in the region, such as Esperanza High (Continuation) in the Gridley Unified School District. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the school's continuation status may contribute to the poor academic outcomes and high dropout and absenteeism rates. However, the significant gap between Prospect High (Continuation) and other high schools in the Oroville Union High School District, such as Las Plumas High and Oroville High, suggests that there may be additional factors, such as resource allocation, staffing, or instructional practices, that are negatively impacting student success at Prospect High (Continuation).

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.
