Ocean View Elementary

Summary:

Ocean View Elementary is a public elementary school in Albany, California, serving 675 students in grades K-5 and part of the Albany City Unified School District, which is ranked 83 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Ocean View Elementary consistently ranks in the top 20-25% of California elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments is generally above the state average but slightly below the district average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In 5th grade, Ocean View outperforms the state average in ELA and Science but lags behind the district average. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.0% in 2020-2021 to 19.5% in 2021-2022 and 16.1% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby Marin Elementary and Cornell Elementary schools.

Ocean View Elementary's performance varies across different student subgroups, with White and Female students generally performing better than Asian, Hispanic, and Male students. However, the school's English Language Learner and Low Socioeconomic Status students have shown strong performance, ranking in the top 10-15% of California schools in these categories. While Ocean View is a relatively strong school within the Albany City Unified District and the state, the school faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism and subgroup performance that merit further 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.
