Ridgeview High (Continuation)

Q: Is Ridgeview High (Continuation) a good school?

Ridgeview High (Continuation) ranks 1651 st of 2323 California high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Ridgeview High (Continuation) is a small public high school in Paradise, California, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Paradise Unified School District. With just 57 students, the school faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism.

Ridgeview High consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of California high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. The school also has a very high dropout rate, ranging from 7.4% to 29.5% over the past few years, and an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching as high as 94.3% in the 2021-2022 school year. This is likely due in part to the school's high percentage of low-socioeconomic status students, with 82.46% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby schools like Paradise Senior High, Inspire School of Arts and Sciences, Durham High, and Chico High, Ridgeview High's performance is significantly lower, with higher test scores, graduation rates, and lower dropout and chronic absenteeism rates. As a continuation school, Ridgeview High may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address the unique needs of its student population.

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.
