Westside Park Elementary faces significant challenges, including a dramatic increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 19.4% in 2017-2018 to 55.7% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the state average of 14.3% and the Theodore Vick Elementary district average of 45.0%. The school also consistently performs well below the state and district averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 15.51% of students proficient or better in ELA and 5.71% in Mathematics, compared to 22.73% and 13.11% for the district, and 47.04% and 35.54% for the state, respectively.

Westside Park Elementary struggles across all student subgroups, with the lowest rankings in the state for African American, Hispanic, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. The school has an extremely high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, at 87.77% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While some nearby schools, such as Gus Franklin Junior and George Visual and Performing Arts Magnet and Middle, demonstrate higher performance within the Adelanto Elementary District, Westside Park Elementary's consistently low academic outcomes and high chronic absenteeism rates suggest the need for comprehensive, data-driven interventions to address the unique challenges faced by this student population.

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.
