Ridgepoint Elementary

Summary:

Ridgepoint Elementary is a public K-8 school in Sacramento, California, serving 664 students. The school consistently outperforms the Twin Rivers Unified School District and the state of California in standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. However, Ridgepoint faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism and the academic performance of certain student subgroups.

Ridgepoint's academic performance is a standout, with proficiency rates ranging from 34.29% to 49.25% in English Language Arts/Literacy and 29.31% to 43.48% in Mathematics, outpacing the district and state averages. The school's Hispanic and English Language Learner students also demonstrate stronger performance compared to their counterparts. Yet, Ridgepoint's African American and multi-racial students tend to lag behind the district and state. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, ranging from 85.53% to 87.03%, suggests that socioeconomic factors may contribute to these academic disparities.

When compared to nearby schools, Ridgepoint generally outperforms other Twin Rivers Unified schools, but its performance is more mixed when stacked against schools in the Dry Creek Joint Elementary School District, such as Barrett Ranch Elementary, Olive Grove Elementary, and Antelope Meadows Elementary. The significant increase in chronic absenteeism at Ridgepoint, from 7.4% to 24.0%, is a concerning trend that requires 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.
