Fall River High has consistently maintained high graduation rates, with a 100% four-year graduation rate in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average. The school also has an impressive 0% dropout rate for the past five school years, outperforming the state and nearby schools. Additionally, Fall River High has relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 2.7% to 5.5% over the past five years, which is lower than the state average. However, the school's performance on standardized tests has been mixed, with some grades performing below the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Science, despite outperforming in Mathematics and Social Studies.

Compared to nearby schools, Waterloo High and Randolph High, Fall River High generally outperforms them in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism. However, some nearby schools, such as Pardeeville High and Rio Middle/High, have higher rankings and better performance on standardized tests in certain subject areas. The school's significant population of low socioeconomic status students is an important factor to consider when analyzing its performance and identifying potential areas for targeted support and intervention.

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.
