San Jacinto High

Summary:

San Jacinto High is a public high school serving 2,617 students in grades 9-12 in San Jacinto, California, which is part of the San Jacinto Unified School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates, is lower than the district and state averages.

San Jacinto High faces several challenges, including a four-year graduation rate slightly below the state average, a higher-than-average dropout rate, and a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 39.5% in 2021-2022. The school's academic performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and Native American students, as well as English Language Learners and students with disabilities, struggling the most. Nearby schools within the San Jacinto Unified District, such as Mountain Heights Academy and Mountain View High, have similar low rankings and academic performance to San Jacinto High.

However, the nearby Nuview Bridge Early College High, a public charter school, stands out with significantly higher academic performance, a 100% graduation rate, and low chronic absenteeism compared to San Jacinto High and the other nearby public schools in the Hemet Unified and Noli School districts.

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.
