However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively well but Asian, African American, and students with disabilities struggling. The significant increase in chronic absenteeism at Rio Linda High is a concerning trend, as it can have a negative impact on student learning and academic outcomes. This issue is not unique to Rio Linda High, as many of the nearby schools also struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, Rio Linda High has a high percentage of students (over 80%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population, which may contribute to some of the academic challenges faced by the school.
