Henry High

Summary:

Henry High is a public high school located in San Diego, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,607 students. The school is part of the San Diego Unified School District, which is ranked 604 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Henry High has consistently performed well in the state rankings, ranking as high as 161 out of 2,021 California high schools in the 2016-2017 school year and maintaining a 4- or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade. The school's four-year graduation rate has remained strong, ranging from 95.1% to 97.7% over the past five years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Henry High students consistently outperform their peers in the San Diego Unified School District and the state of California on standardized tests, including the Smarter Balanced Assessments and the California Science Test (CAST).

While Henry High's overall performance is impressive, the school's exceptional performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American students, Hispanic students, and students with disabilities, is particularly noteworthy. These student groups rank in the top 25% or higher of their respective statewide cohorts. However, the school could potentially improve the performance of English Language Learner students and multi-racial students, who rank in the bottom half of their statewide cohorts. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate, while still lower than the district and state averages, has been trending upward in recent years and may be an area of focus for the school's administration.

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.
