Graduation rate of socioeconomically disadvantaged students at Terra Linda High School decreased from previous school year

Hs test 03

The graduation rate of socioeconomically disadvantaged students at Terra Linda High School in the 2017-2018 school year decreased from the previous school year’s graduation rate of 91.4 percent, according to the California Department of Education.

According to CDE data, graduation rates indicate an increase in disproportional academic performance between white, Black, Latino, and English learner students.

According to the National Centre for Education Statistics, in the 2017-2018 school year, of the 50 states where data was collected, students with disabilities were at the bottom of 4-year high school graduation rates by student group.

Angela Johnson, a research scientist at NWEA, says “taken together, prior research suggests that inequities exist in the quality of education experienced by current ELs and non-ELs and that these inequities explain achievement gaps in middle and early high school” in The Effects of English Learner Classification on High School Graduation and College Attendance.
