With only 19 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 15-20% of California high schools over the past decade, receiving 1-2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 90% Hispanic and over 84% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Santa Barbara County Juvenile Court has struggled with very low graduation rates, ranging from 31.7% to 63.6% over the past 5 years, and correspondingly high dropout rates, reaching as high as 61% in 2017-2018. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the Santa Barbara County Office of Education district average and the state average, with only 18.18% of students proficient or better in ELA in 2022-2023, compared to 46.66% statewide. Additionally, the school has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 4% to 9.5% over the past 5 years, much higher than the state average.

In contrast, nearby high schools such as Carpinteria Senior High, Dos Pueblos Senior High, and Santa Barbara Senior High have significantly higher graduation rates, lower dropout rates, better test scores, and lower chronic absenteeism compared to Santa Barbara County Juvenile Court.

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.
