Summary:

Kohler Elementary is a public elementary school located in North Highlands, California, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 425 students. The school is part of the Twin Rivers Unified School District, which is ranked 1122 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kohler Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and equity concerns. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has risen from 13.8% in 2017-2018 to 32.7% in 2022-2023, notably higher than the district and state averages. Academically, Kohler consistently underperforms compared to the district and state, with only 26.61% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 15.64% in Mathematics in 2023-2024. The school also struggles to support certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 30% of California elementary schools for Hispanic students and English Language Learners in these subjects.

When comparing Kohler Elementary to nearby schools in the Twin Rivers Unified district, it becomes clear that Kohler is one of the lower-performing schools in the area. Schools like Ridgepoint Elementary, Hillsdale Elementary, and Frontier Elementary consistently outperform Kohler in academic assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on improving attendance, academic outcomes, and support for underserved student groups.

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.
