Eastside has several areas of strength, including consistently high four-year graduation rates ranging from 88.3% to 98.0% over the past five years. However, the school faces challenges in academic performance, with test scores in English Language Arts and Math generally lower than the state averages and nearby high-performing schools like Leo Junior/Senior High School.

Additionally, Eastside has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.8% in 2020-2021 to 20.3% in 2022-2023, which may impact student learning and academic outcomes.

Eastside's student population is predominantly white (93.33%), which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 31.13% to 37.95% over the past three years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. When compared to nearby high schools like Leo Junior/Senior High School, Eastside lags behind in several key metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.

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.
