Feather River Academy

Summary:

Feather River Academy is a public high school located in Yuba City, California, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of just 43 students. As part of the Sutter County Office of Education district, which is ranked 1546 out of 1568 districts in the state, Feather River Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of California high schools over the past decade.

Feather River Academy faces significant challenges, including extremely low graduation rates ranging from 0% to 42.3% over the past five years, much lower than the state average of around 85% and nearby schools like Sutter High (98.2%), Marysville Charter Academy for the Arts (95.1%), and Yuba City High (85.9%). The school also struggles with high dropout rates, reaching as high as 72.7%, and extremely high chronic absenteeism, up to 91.5% in the 2020-2021 school year.

Academically, Feather River Academy students perform significantly below state and local averages on standardized tests, with only 14.29% of 11th-graders proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 55.73%, and 0% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 27.9%. This is likely due in part to the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 81.4% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than nearby schools. Addressing the persistent challenges at Feather River Academy will require targeted interventions and support to improve outcomes 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.
