Mt. McKinley

Summary:

Mt. McKinley is a small public high school in Martinez, California, serving grades 7-12 with just 51 students. Despite its small size, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state over the past decade, with concerning trends across key metrics.

Mt. McKinley struggles with extremely low graduation rates, ranging from 12.7% to 65% over the past five years, and correspondingly high dropout rates of 25% to 63.6%. The school also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, from 0% to 27.8%. Academically, Mt. McKinley's students perform poorly on standardized tests, with 0% proficiency in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively. The school's subgroups, including male students, African American students, Hispanic students, low-income students, and disabled students, all rank among the lowest-performing in California, indicating significant achievement gaps.

In comparison, nearby schools like Alhambra Senior High, College Park High, and Mt. Diablo High generally perform much better across various metrics, highlighting the significant educational disparities within the same geographic region. The challenges faced by Mt. McKinley may be exacerbated by the high percentage of students (over 90%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a concentration of students from low-income backgrounds. Despite the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio, it has not shown consistent improvement over the past decade, suggesting the need for a more comprehensive approach to address the root causes of its struggles and provide equitable educational opportunities for its students.

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.
