Royal Sunset (Continuation)

Summary:

Royal Sunset (Continuation) is a public high school in Hayward, California, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 90 students. The school is part of the San Lorenzo Unified School District, which is ranked 1186 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Royal Sunset (Continuation) consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of California high schools, with academic performance significantly lower than the surrounding schools in the San Lorenzo Unified District, as well as the state average. For example, in 2023-2024, only 8.33% of 11th-grade students at Royal Sunset were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 38.51% in the district and 55.73% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 66.9% to 74.4% over the past five years, which is much lower than the nearby Arroyo High, San Lorenzo High, and East Bay Arts High. Additionally, Royal Sunset has had extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 83.2% to 87.8% in recent years, more than double the rates of the surrounding schools.

The data suggests that Royal Sunset (Continuation) and its students would benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues contributing to their poor academic performance, high absenteeism, and low graduation rates. Strategies such as personalized learning, social-emotional support, and community partnerships could be explored to help these students succeed. The stark contrast with the nearby high schools within the same San Lorenzo Unified District also underscores the importance of ensuring equity and access to quality education for all students, regardless of their background or educational history.

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.
