The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as its White students, who ranked 2499 out of 2647 California elementary schools, with a 0-star rating, and its Low Socioeconomic Status students, who ranked 4047 out of 5511 California elementary schools, with a 1-star rating.

Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past few years, from 1251 out of 1417 California elementary schools in the 2020-2021 school year to 4461 out of 5862 in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a concerning trend in academic performance. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, as well as the low performance of certain student subgroups, suggest that socioeconomic factors and equity issues may be contributing to the school's academic challenges.

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.
