Summerville High

Summary:

Summerville High is a public high school located in Tuolumne, California, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 457. Over the past several years, the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, currently ranking 528 out of 2,323 California high schools and rated 4 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars for the 2023-2024 school year.

Summerville High has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 92.0% to 96.8% over the past five years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's students also perform better than the state average in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, as well as in the California Science Test (CAST). For example, in 2023-2024, 61.7% of Summerville High's 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to the state average of 55.73%. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 0.0% in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 to 24.5% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools, Bret Harte Union High, Coulterville High, and Sonora High, Summerville High generally outperforms them in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, and test scores. However, the nearby Connections Visual and Performing Arts Academy, a public charter school within the Summerville Union High School District, consistently outperforms Summerville High and the state average in various metrics, suggesting that a specialized focus and smaller class sizes may be effective strategies for improving student outcomes.

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.
