Warner Elementary

Summary:

Warner Elementary is a public elementary school located in Warner Springs, California, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 109 students. Based on the data provided, the school has consistently ranked in the lower half of California elementary schools over the past several years, with a current ranking of 5593 out of 5862 schools and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Warner Elementary faces several key challenges. The school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 7.2% in 2017-2018 to 64.1% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average and the surrounding schools. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science tests, is consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 16.67% of students at Warner Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 47.04%. Additionally, Warner Unified has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 76.15% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as All Tribes Elementary Charter, Borrego Springs Elementary, Julian Elementary, and Spencer Valley Elementary, generally perform better than Warner Elementary across various metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism rates, and socioeconomic status. This suggests that Warner Elementary may face unique challenges that are not shared by the surrounding schools. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, increased resources, and collaboration with the surrounding community and school districts to support the success of the students at Warner Elementary.

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.
