Kings River High (Continuation)

Summary:

Kings River High (Continuation) is a small public high school in Sanger, California, serving grades 7-12 with just 84 students. As a continuation school, it faces unique challenges in supporting students who may have struggled in traditional school settings.

The school's academic performance is consistently low, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of California high schools. Its proficiency rates in core subjects like English, math, and science are significantly below the district and state averages. Kings River High also grapples with high dropout rates, ranging from 5.6% to 12.3% in recent years, and chronic absenteeism as high as 86.4% - much higher than the nearby Sanger High and Sanger West High schools. The majority of students (86.9% to 93.55%) come from low-income families, further contributing to the school's socioeconomic challenges.

Over time, Kings River High's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from 1,471st out of 2,426 California high schools in 2012-2013 to 2,058th out of 2,323 in 2023-2024. The school's performance is particularly low for male students, Hispanic students, and those from low-income backgrounds, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom 10-15% of California high schools. While the nearby Clovis East High and Sanger High have relatively strong academic performance, Kings River High (Continuation) continues to lag behind, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to help these students succeed.

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.
