Summary:

Renaissance Alternative High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Bremerton, Washington, which is part of the Bremerton School District. With just 107 students, the school faces significant challenges, including consistently low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and poor academic performance on standardized tests compared to nearby high schools.

Over the past 5 years, Renaissance Alternative High School has had four-year graduation rates ranging from just 21.2% to 57.1%, which is much lower than the 74.2% graduation rate at Bremerton High School. Correspondingly, the school has had high dropout rates, ranging from 28.5% to 42.8%, far exceeding the 12.8% dropout rate at Bremerton High. Academically, only 45.83% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 66.2% statewide, and just 12.12% were proficient in science, versus 49.66% for the state.

Renaissance Alternative High School serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 74.16% to 80.37% over the past 3 years, which is significantly higher than the 66.18% at Bremerton High School. The school has also seen declining enrollment and changes in its racial makeup, with a decrease in White students and an increase in students of color.

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.
