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.

Sadly the school has lost its luster and A+ rating since the Rock star principle & many of the wonderful long terms staff members left . Bullying & safety concerns don’t seem to be a priority here. Disappointed it use to be a great place and community I use to be proud of. That’s no longer the case looking for other options. Close Quote

My kid loves going to DSES. The principal is great and leads the school to excellence whilst he knows every kid by name. Close Quote

This school is wonderful. I came over two years ago from another PVUSD elementary school and have been very impressed the caring staff and principal. At first I was nervous because our third grade teacher seemed very unorganized and not with it but we spoke with principal and he rectified the issue right away. Since, all of our teachers have been phenomenal. I recommend this school highly! Close Quote

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.
