Ukiah High

Summary:

Ukiah High is a public high school located in Ukiah, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,679 students. The school is part of the Ukiah Unified School District, which is ranked 1162 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ukiah High has consistently maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 92.1% to 95.0% over the past five years, which is higher than the state average. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 19.6% in 2018-2019 to 43.5% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average. Ukiah High's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state averages, with only around 50% of students meeting or exceeding the standards. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Native American and English Language Learner students performing relatively better compared to other subgroups, while Special Education and Homeless students perform significantly worse.

Ukiah High's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 606 out of 2,133 California high schools in 2018-2019 to 1,191 out of 2,323 in 2023-2024, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's performance is generally better than the nearby South Valley High (a continuation school), but lags behind the higher-performing Redwood Collegiate Academy, which is a public charter school. The significant performance gaps between different student subgroups at Ukiah High suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address these inequities.

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.
