Santana High (Continuation)

Summary:

Santana High (Continuation) is a small public high school in La Puente, California, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Rowland Unified School District. With just 154 students, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of California high schools.

Academically, Santana High struggles, with only 26.47% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 61.83% in the Rowland Unified district and 55.73% statewide. The school's graduation rates, ranging from 46.9% to 76.4% over the past five years, are much lower than the state average and nearby high schools like Glen A. Wilson High and John A. Rowland High. Santana High also has high dropout rates, ranging from 11.2% to 31.5%, and an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, from 55.8% to 75.8%.

As a continuation high school, Santana High serves a predominantly Hispanic (over 90%) and low-income (over 80% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) student population, which may contribute to the school's challenges. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach that addresses the unique needs of the student population and the underlying socioeconomic factors impacting their education.

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.
