San Juan High

Summary:

San Juan High is a public high school located in Citrus Heights, California, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 559. The school is part of the San Juan Unified School District, which is ranked 923 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

San Juan High consistently ranks in the bottom half of California high schools, with academic performance significantly below the state and district averages across various subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 27.7% of 11th-grade students at San Juan High were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 55.73%. The school also struggles with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and high chronic absenteeism, which may be contributing to its overall underperformance. Interestingly, Meraki High, a smaller school within the same district, consistently outperforms San Juan High across various metrics.

The performance of different student subgroups at San Juan High is also concerning. While the school's African American students perform relatively well compared to other subgroups, the Hispanic and White student populations perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 25% of California high schools. The school's English Language Learner and Special Education student populations also struggle, with rankings in the bottom half of the state. Addressing these disparities and implementing targeted interventions to support the diverse needs of the student population should be a priority for the district.

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.
