Adrian Wilcox High

Summary:

Adrian Wilcox High is a public high school located in Santa Clara, California, serving 1,859 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Santa Clara Unified School District. The school has seen fluctuating performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 185th to 703rd out of over 2,000 California high schools, and its SchoolDigger rating varying from 3 to 5 stars.

While Adrian Wilcox High maintains a strong four-year graduation rate, it has struggled with chronic absenteeism, which has increased from 10.3% in 2017-2018 to 20.3% in 2022-2023. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with English Language Arts/Literacy proficiency above the district and state averages, but Mathematics and Science proficiency below the district average. Notably, certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic, multi-racial, English Language Learners, and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, have performed below average compared to their peers.

In comparison to nearby schools, Adrian Wilcox High performs better than New Valley Continuation High, but lags behind the high-performing Mission Early College High and Homestead High (in the Fremont Union High School District). Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and improving academic outcomes for disadvantaged student populations could be key focus areas for Adrian Wilcox High to better serve its diverse community.

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.
