Morgan Kincaid Preparatory faces significant challenges, including a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 13.2% in 2017-2018 to 45.4% in 2022-2023.

Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than state averages, ranging from 19.38% to 25.34% in ELA, 6.99% to 33.04% in Math, and only 11.49% proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 30.7%.

Equity is a major concern at Morgan Kincaid Preparatory, as the school's student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, consistently rank in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools in terms of academic performance. The school's performance for Multi-racial and White student subgroups is particularly concerning, with these groups ranking in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools. Addressing these disparities and ensuring that all students have access to a high-quality education should be a top priority for the school and the Adelanto Elementary District.

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.
