Tracy Elementary

Summary:

Tracy Elementary is a public elementary school located in Baldwin Park, California, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 556 students. The school is part of the Baldwin Park Unified School District, which is ranked 966 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Tracy Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average academic performance, and a student population with significant socioeconomic disadvantages. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were 32.57% and 22.26%, respectively, in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 40.57% and 25.68%, and the state's 47.04% and 35.54%. While the school's special education students perform relatively better, its English Language Learner and homeless student populations struggle, ranking in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools. Interestingly, when compared to nearby schools within the Baldwin Park Unified School District, such as De Anza Elementary and Foster Elementary, Tracy Elementary performs similarly or slightly worse in academic measures.

The high rates of chronic absenteeism and the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population may be contributing factors to Tracy Elementary's academic struggles. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from 3,902 out of 5,530 California elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 4,340 out of 5,862 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school's performance has not kept pace with the state's overall improvement. Addressing these underlying issues and learning from the successes of nearby schools could be important steps in improving the educational outcomes for the students at Tracy Elementary.

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.
