Harvest High

Public Grades 9-12
Summary

Harvest High is a small public high school in Ripon, California, with just 29 students enrolled in grades 9-12. As part of the Ripon Unified School District, which is ranked 330 out of 1,560 districts in the state, Harvest High serves a unique student population compared to the larger, more diverse nearby schools like Ripon High and Grace M. Davis High.

Harvest High has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (65.52%) and a lower percentage of White students (17.24%) compared to the surrounding schools. Academically, the school's performance on standardized tests is much lower than the district averages, with only 37.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 12.5% in Mathematics. However, Harvest High has maintained a 100% four-year graduation rate for the past two years, which is higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools. The school also has a 0% dropout rate, a notable achievement.

Despite these successes, Harvest High faces significant challenges, including a very high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 48.6% to 87.1% over the past few years, much higher than the surrounding schools. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 68.97% to 73.68% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these issues, particularly the high chronic absenteeism, could be a priority for Harvest High and the Ripon Unified School District as they work to support the unique needs of this small, but dedicated, school community.

Open Quote They treat their students like prisoners I had to leave this school because the way the principal was acting she is rude and condescending when I tried bringing this up about how bad the school was she ignored me I’ve had many compliments from my peers that they have a lot of anxiety going to school every day and some feel depressed some don’t even show up because of how bad the staff treat them Close Quote
