Avaxat Elementary

Summary:

Avaxat Elementary is a public elementary school located in Murrieta, California, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 724 students. It is part of the Murrieta Valley Unified School District, which is ranked 356 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Avaxat Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average test scores, and uneven performance across different student subgroups. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has risen significantly, from 10.2% in 2018-2019 to 34.0% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the nearby schools. Academically, Avaxat Elementary's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the Murrieta Valley Unified School District and the state of California averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 35.38% of Avaxat Elementary students were proficient or better in Smarter Balanced Assessments/English Language Arts/Literacy for End of Course, compared to 60.35% for the Murrieta Valley Unified School District and 47.04% for California.

The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Avaxat Elementary ranking in the bottom 10-20% of California elementary schools for White and Multi-racial student populations, despite performing relatively well for African American and English Language Learner students. Additionally, Avaxat Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.39% to 64.64% over the past few years, which is higher than most of the nearby schools. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the academic performance of the students, and targeted interventions and support will be needed to address these challenges.

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.
