Georgia Brown Dual Immersion Magnet Elementary

Summary:

Georgia Brown Dual Immersion Magnet Elementary is a public elementary school in Paso Robles, California, serving 624 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District, which is ranked 841 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school offers a dual immersion program, it faces several challenges. Georgia Brown has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.9% in 2017-2018 to 38.6% in 2020-2021, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. The school's performance on standardized tests is also generally lower than the district and state, with only 38.33% of students proficient or better in Smarter Balanced Assessments/English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 42.27% for the district and 47.04% for the state. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 65.06% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and a high student-teacher ratio of 29 students per teacher.

Comparing Georgia Brown to nearby schools, the data suggests that the challenges it faces are not unique. Nearby Virginia Peterson Elementary and Winifred Pifer Elementary also struggle with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism. However, Kermit King Elementary, another school within the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District, consistently outperforms the other schools in the area. Additionally, the public charter school Almond Acres Charter Academy generally outperforms Georgia Brown and the other nearby district schools in both academic achievement and student-teacher ratio.

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.
