Summary:
El Nido Elementary is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the El Nido Elementary School District, which is ranked 1050 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. With a total enrollment of 148 students, El Nido Elementary faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance, high rates of poverty, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio.
El Nido Elementary's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the statewide averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 20% to 50% in English Language Arts/Literacy, 18.75% to 30% in Mathematics, and 8.33% to 25% in Science, all of which are significantly lower than the corresponding statewide averages. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 8.9% in the 2022-2023 school year suggests that attendance may be a concern.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (93.24%) indicates that El Nido Elementary serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and require targeted interventions and resources to address the unique needs of the student population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 16.4 to 1 is also relatively high, which could make it challenging for teachers to provide individualized attention and support to students.
