Del Valle Continuation High

Summary:

Del Valle Continuation High is a public high school in Livermore, California, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 135 students. It is part of the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District, which is ranked 399 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Del Valle Continuation High consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of California high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 17.39% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 65.22% in the Livermore Valley Joint Unified district and 55.73% statewide. The school also has a much higher dropout rate (3.3%) and chronic absenteeism (77.2%) compared to nearby traditional high schools, such as Granada High and Livermore High.

When compared to other continuation high schools in the area, such as Valley High (Continuation) in the Dublin Unified School District, Del Valle Continuation High performs better in terms of graduation rates (83.8% vs. 87.8%) and lower dropout rates (13.5% vs. 3.3%). However, it still lags behind in academic performance and has higher chronic absenteeism. The school's challenges may be related to its focus on serving students who have struggled in traditional high school settings, and there are opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of low academic achievement and high absenteeism.

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.
