Julien Elementary

Summary:

Julien Elementary is a public elementary school in Turlock, California, serving 779 students in grades K-6 and part of the Turlock Unified School District. This school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic assessments, with strong performance among student subgroups like Special Education and Disabled students. However, Julien Elementary faces challenges with increasing chronic absenteeism, which may be linked to its higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and a relatively high student-teacher ratio.

Academically, Julien Elementary shines, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science compared to both the Turlock Unified School District and the state of California. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 42.06% of Julien students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 37.45% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, 33.18% of Julien students were proficient or better, compared to 25.81% for the district and 35.54% for the state.

While Julien Elementary outperforms nearby schools in academic achievement, it faces a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.0% in 2018-2019 to 22.4% in 2022-2023. This higher chronic absenteeism rate may be linked to Julien's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (56.1% receive free or reduced-price lunch) and a student-teacher ratio of 23.6, which is higher than some nearby schools like Walnut Elementary Education Center (22.7) and Cunningham Elementary (22.0). Addressing these challenges could help Julien Elementary continue to improve and better support its students.

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.
