Breen Elementary

Summary:

Breen Elementary is a public elementary school in Rocklin, California, serving 404 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Rocklin Unified School District, which is ranked 234 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Breen Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in academic assessments, with proficiency rates of 60.43% in English Language Arts and 63.83% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively. The school's Hispanic and special education students also perform exceptionally well, ranking 549th and 98th out of California elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's White students have a lower performance compared to the state average. Breen Elementary's chronic absenteeism rate of 11.0% in 2022-2023 is lower than the rates of nearby Parker Whitney Elementary (17.1%) and Rock Creek Elementary (17.4%), but the school has experienced fluctuations in this metric over the years.

Breen Elementary's relatively low percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients (15.35%) compared to nearby schools suggests a more affluent student population, which may contribute to the school's academic performance. The school's consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and its focus on equity and inclusion for its Hispanic and special education students are strengths, but the school may want to investigate the factors behind the performance gap among its White students and the fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates to ensure that all students have the resources and support they need to succeed.

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.

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.
