Summary:
The city of La Selva Beach, California has only one public high school, Renaissance High Continuation, which serves grades 9-12. This school is part of the Pajaro Valley Unified School District, which is ranked 1219 out of 1560 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Renaissance High Continuation has a predominantly Hispanic student body (96.5%) and consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of California high schools, with a 4-year graduation rate of 83.6% and a dropout rate of 10.2%, both of which are worse than the state averages. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 68.3% and significantly underperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, 93.01% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.2, which is the lowest among the 6 high schools in the Pajaro Valley Unified School District, the overall performance of Renaissance High Continuation suggests that the school is struggling to provide an equitable and high-quality education to its students. The data highlights the need for a deeper examination of the factors contributing to the school's poor performance and the implementation of targeted interventions and support to address the challenges faced by the students and the school community.
