Emery Park Elementary

Summary:

Emery Park Elementary is a public K-8 school in Alhambra, California, serving 372 students as part of the Alhambra Unified School District. While the district is ranked 266 out of 1,568 in California and has a 4-star rating, Emery Park Elementary faces some challenges in academic performance and attendance.

Emery Park Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.7% in 2017-2018 to 31.2% in 2021-2022, notably higher than the district averages at Garfield Elementary (21.7%) and William Northrup Elementary (20.0%). Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the district and state averages, especially in the lower grades. However, the school's Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform better than the overall school, ranking higher than the state average in these subgroups.

When compared to nearby schools, Emery Park Elementary's performance is lower than other Alhambra Unified schools, but it outperforms Sierra Vista Elementary and Cesar Chavez Elementary in the Los Angeles Unified School District. However, the high-performing Monterey Hills Elementary in the South Pasadena Unified School District serves as a stark contrast, with significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates.

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.
