New Horizons High School

Summary:

New Horizons High School is a public high school in Pasco, Washington, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 319 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently struggled with poor academic performance, low graduation rates, and high dropout rates, ranking among the lowest-performing high schools in the state.

New Horizons High School's academic metrics are particularly concerning. The school has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor performance, and consistently ranks between 392-447 out of 402-455 high schools in Washington over the past 15 years. Graduation rates have ranged from just 13.2% to 33.5% over the past 5 years, with correspondingly high dropout rates of 4.4% to 32.9%. Standardized test scores in English Language Arts and Science also lag significantly behind the Pasco School District and the state of Washington.

When compared to other high schools in the Pasco School District, such as Chiawana Senior High School and Pasco Senior High School, New Horizons High School's performance is significantly lower across the board. This suggests that the challenges faced by New Horizons are not shared by all schools in the district. The school's high percentage of Hispanic and low-income students may be contributing to these struggles, and addressing the unique needs of these vulnerable populations could be crucial in improving student outcomes.

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.
