San Gorgonio High

Summary:

San Gorgonio High is a public high school in San Bernardino, California, serving 1,542 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the San Bernardino City Unified School District, which is ranked 1221 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

San Gorgonio High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California high schools, maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively better but Asian, African American, White, and Multi-racial students, as well as English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Military Connected students, all performing significantly below average. While the school has maintained a relatively high 4-year graduation rate, its dropout rate has been increasing, and chronic absenteeism has been steadily rising, reaching 34.0% in the 2022-2023 school year.

Compared to nearby schools in the San Bernardino City Unified School District, San Gorgonio High performs similarly, with low statewide rankings and academic proficiency rates. However, Citrus Valley High, a school in the neighboring Redlands Unified School District, significantly outperforms San Gorgonio High and the other San Bernardino schools. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at San Gorgonio High may contribute to the school's challenges, including the high chronic absenteeism rate.

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.
