Summary:

Sutter Elementary is a public elementary school in Antioch, California, serving 464 students in grades K-5. The school faces significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and a student population that is predominantly economically disadvantaged.

Sutter Elementary's performance lags behind both the Antioch Unified School District and the state of California across key metrics. The school has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, from 12.7% in 2020-2021 to 32.9% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Academically, only 27.48% of Sutter Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 23.79% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the district and state averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student groups, with White students and English Language Learners performing significantly worse than their African American and Hispanic peers.

Comparing Sutter Elementary to nearby schools in the Antioch Unified School District, such as Fremont Elementary, Kimball Elementary, and Lone Tree Elementary, reveals that Sutter Elementary's performance is generally lower, despite these schools also serving high percentages of economically disadvantaged students. The nearby charter schools, Antioch Charter Academy II and Antioch Charter Academy, consistently outperform Sutter Elementary and the other district schools, suggesting that the charter school model may be more effective in this area.

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.
