Summary:

Weaverville Elementary is a public K-8 school in Weaverville, California, part of the Trinity Alps Unified school district, with an enrollment of 333 students. While the school has received an average 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, it faces some notable challenges compared to nearby elementary schools.

Weaverville Elementary has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 18.0% in 2018-2019 to 30.5% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the 18.1% rate at Hayfork Elementary. The school also performs below the state average on Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 42.79% of students proficient or better in ELA compared to the state's 47.04%, and 35.18% proficient or better in math versus the state's 35.54%. Additionally, Weaverville has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.64% to 69.37% over the past few years, higher than the 48.77% rate at Douglas City Elementary.

Weaverville Elementary's statewide ranking has trended downward, from a high of 703 out of 1,417 California elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 2,344 out of 5,862 in 2023-2024, suggesting the school is struggling to keep pace with others in the state. Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism, below-average test scores, and achievement gaps between student subgroups could help Weaverville improve its overall performance and ranking.

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.
