Channel Islands High

Summary:

Channel Islands High is a public high school located in Oxnard, California, serving 2,643 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Oxnard Union High School District, which is ranked 717 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Channel Islands High has seen some improvements in its four-year graduation rate, reaching 92.0% in the 2022-2023 school year, the school faces several challenges. It consistently ranks in the lower half of California high schools, typically between 1,100-1,700 out of around 2,000-2,300 schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has fluctuated between 1-3 stars out of 5, indicating below-average performance compared to other high schools in the state. The school's performance is relatively better for English Language Learner (ELL) students, but it struggles with Special Education and Disabled student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quarter of California high schools for these groups.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Oxnard Union High School District, such as Frontier High, Oxnard High, and Pacifica High, generally perform better than Channel Islands High across various metrics, including statewide rankings, test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. Additionally, Oxnard Middle College High, a specialized school within the district, stands out with exceptional performance, ranking in the top 5% of California high schools and achieving a 100% four-year graduation rate.

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.
