Summary:

Watsonville High is a public high school located in Watsonville, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,244 students. The school is part of the Pajaro Valley Unified School District, which is ranked 1237 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Watsonville High consistently ranks in the bottom half of California high schools, with significantly below-average performance on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 83.4% and 92.7% over the past five years, which is generally lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 4.6% to 9.9% during the same period, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, Watsonville High has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.1% in 2018-2019 to 28.0% in 2021-2022.

While Watsonville High's performance has been consistently low, there are some signs of improvement, such as a slight increase in the four-year graduation rate and a decrease in the dropout rate in recent years. The school's relatively stronger performance for English Language Learner students suggests that targeted interventions and support for this population could be an area of focus for improvement. In comparison, Aptos High, another school within the same district, consistently outperforms Watsonville High on academic measures, and Ceiba College Preparatory Academy, a nearby charter school, has higher academic performance, a 100% graduation rate, and lower chronic absenteeism compared to Watsonville High.

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.
