Opportunity Program

Summary:

Opportunity Program is a small public high school in Riverside, California that serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of just 48 students. Despite being part of the Riverside Unified School District, which is ranked 774 out of 1,568 districts in the state, Opportunity Program consistently struggles with low academic performance, high dropout and chronic absenteeism rates, and serves a high-need student population.

Opportunity Program ranks in the bottom 20-25% of California high schools based on its statewide ranking, with proficiency rates on standardized tests like the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science exam that are significantly lower than the district and state averages, often in the single digits. The school has had very high dropout rates, ranging from 50-67% in recent years, and its chronic absenteeism rate reached over 70% in 2021-2022. With 87.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Opportunity Program serves a high-need student population and ranks in the bottom 20-25% of California high schools for low-income students.

In comparison, nearby comprehensive high schools like Arlington High (1,957 students) and Polytechnic High (2,660 students) have much higher graduation rates, lower dropout rates, and significantly better test scores. Given Opportunity Program's small size, high-need student population, and persistent academic struggles, the school may benefit from more intensive, targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of its challenges.

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.
