Round Valley High

Summary:

Round Valley High School is a public high school located in Covelo, CA, serving 112 students in grades 9-12. This school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of California high schools with low academic performance, high dropout rates, and high chronic absenteeism.

Round Valley High School's academic performance is significantly below the state average, with only 22.22% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 55.73%, and 0% proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 26.97%. The school also struggles with a concerning dropout rate, ranging from 15.6% to 44.0% over the past few years, and high chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 57.0% in the 2021-2022 school year. These challenges are likely exacerbated by the fact that 98.21% of the school's students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, significantly higher than the state average.

The closest high school to Round Valley High is Round Valley Continuation, which is also part of the Round Valley Unified School District and faces similar challenges. The next closest high school, Laytonville High, is over 14 miles away and performs slightly better, but is still ranked in the bottom 30% of California high schools. This lack of nearby high-performing schools limits the educational options for students and families in the Round Valley community, which may contribute to the persistent underperformance of the school.

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.
