Student Demographics

Student Enrollment

The total enrollment at Easton Continuation High School is 15 students, making it a very small high school, in the bottom 10% of all California high schools by size.

Attending Easton Continuation High will feel very cozy, and you'll likely know everyone in your school. This will be a very intimate learning environment.

Unfortunately, with a tiny class size, you may lack a large diversity of activities and classes to join. If you feel your interests aren't well catered by Easton Continuation High, you might consider independent learning or looking at nearby, larger high schools.

Growth in Student Body Size

Is Easton Continuation High School growing or shrinking? This will help you see trends in where the school is headed.

From our calculations, the enrollment at Easton Continuation High has decreased over the past few years. We calculate this by comparing enrollment in grades 9 to 12.

	Male Students	Female Students	All Students
9^th grade	0	0	0
10^th grade	1	0	1
11^th grade	2	5	7
12^th grade	5	2	7

As you can see in the table above, the senior class is 7 students larger than the freshman class. This suggests that Easton Continuation High is shrinking in size and taking on fewer students.

There are a few reasons this can happen. The population of Fresno could be decreasing, thus sending fewer students into Easton Continuation High. Alternatively, other schools (like charter or private schools) might be appearing, drawing students away.

Gender Split

Are there more boys or girls at Easton Continuation High School?

From our statistics, Easton Continuation High has a 54:46 split between male and female students in the high school grades.

Easton Continuation High has a balanced male-female ratio that's largely representative of the general population in Fresno County. Since the student body is roughly half and half, it should feel like there are equal numbers of boys and girls in your classes.

This usually means that Easton Continuation High doesn't strongly select for either males or females, unlike other schools that have a large majority of males or females.

Ethnicity Breakdown

What's the racial diversity at Easton Continuation High School? Does one ethnicity make up most of the student body, or is it fairly balanced?

From our statistics, Easton Continuation High has a homogenous student body, with the overwhelming majority of students identifying as one ethnicity. Only a third of California schools show as little diversity as Easton Continuation High does. When attending class, most students will be of the same ethnicity, with some variation.

The majority of students at Easton Continuation High are Hispanic. In California, Hispanic students make up the majority of all students at 51.5%, and are thus the most common ethnicity.

Income Level of Easton Continuation High Families

What are the family incomes of students at Easton Continuation High School? To determine this, we look at the number of students who qualify for free or reduced lunches, a classification by the US federal government.

To qualify for a reduced price meal, family income needs to be below 185% of the federal poverty guidelines. For a family of 4, this means an income of around $45,000 or below.

To qualify for a free meal, family income needs to be below 130% of the federal poverty guidelines. For a family of 4, this means an income of around $32,000 or below.

The lower the percentage of students who qualify for free or reduced price meals, the higher the income levels are likely to be.

At Easton Continuation High, 13.3% of students qualify for reduced-price lunches, and 66.6% qualify for free lunches.

This means Easton Continuation High has a high percentage of students at or near poverty. Almost a third of all schools in California show this level of poverty, and by National Center for Education Statistics standards, Easton Continuation High can be classified as a high poverty school. The income level of families in Fresno is thus likely to be low.

	Number	Percent
Reduced-price lunches	2	13.3%
Free lunches	10	66.6%
Do not qualify for reduced-price or free lunches	3	20.0%

As with ethnicity, this likely reflects the surrounding community in Fresno and doesn't speak much about the school itself.

Unfortunately, schools in areas of lower income levels are likely to be more poorly funded. As a result, they might feature less advanced coursework like AP/IB classes, and you may not have a full range of sports and extracurriculars to draw from. Because Easton Continuation High is an especially high poverty-level school, it might not have the resources you need to meet your full potential.

You definitely don't have control over the city, the school, or other families, but you can structure your own learning to be more productive. If you'd like to open yourself to more opportunities, you can look into whether it's possible to transfer to a nearby school with higher income levels.

If not, don't be alarmed - it's possible that Easton Continuation High has all that you need for your ambition. And you can definitely be proactive about learning outside of your school, looking to your community or to the Internet to find more resources.
