Fort Jones Elementary

Summary:

Fort Jones Elementary is a public elementary school serving 144 students in grades K-5 in the Scott Valley Unified School District in California. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of White students (52.08%) and significant percentages of Native American (10.42%) and multi-racial (25.69%) students.

Fort Jones Elementary outperforms the district and state averages in several key areas, such as English Language Arts/Literacy proficiency (49.3% vs. 48.57% for the district and 46.66% for the state) and 5th-grade Science proficiency (50% vs. 43.4% for the district and 31.86% for the state). However, the school underperforms in 3rd-grade Math, with only 40% of students proficient or better, compared to 53.49% for the district and 45.11% for the state. Additionally, Fort Jones Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.5% in 2018-2019 to 31.3% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Montague Elementary, Gazelle Elementary, and Grenada Elementary, Fort Jones Elementary generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of test scores and school rankings. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate and lower socioeconomic status of its student population, with 47.22% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, are areas of concern that warrant further attention and intervention.

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.
