Arroyo Valley High is a public high school located in San Bernardino, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,785 students. The school is part of the San Bernardino City Unified School District, which is ranked 1221 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Arroyo Valley High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from a rank of 935 out of 2017 California high schools in 2017-2018 to a rank of 1491 out of 2323 in 2023-2024. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars during this time period. However, Arroyo Valley High has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 93.5% to 97.6% over the past five years, which is higher than the graduation rates of some nearby schools, such as Sierra High (75.3%) and Options for Youth-San Bernardino (19.0%). The school's dropout rate has also been lower than these nearby schools.

Despite these positive metrics, Arroyo Valley High faces several challenges. The school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 18.0% in 2018-2019 to 35.4% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the chronic absenteeism rates of nearby schools like Rialto High (33.3%) and Eisenhower High (36.3%). Additionally, Arroyo Valley High's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the district and state averages, and the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups.

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.
