Vineland Elementary

Summary:

Vineland Elementary is a public elementary school located in Baldwin Park, California, serving grades K-8 with a student population of 550. It 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.

Vineland Elementary faces several challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 8.4% in 2017-2018 to 29.5% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. The school also consistently underperforms compared to the Baldwin Park Unified School District and the state of California in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 25.51% of Vineland students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 40.57% for the district and 47.04% for the state. Additionally, Vineland Elementary struggles to support its student subgroups, particularly female, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students, who consistently rank in the bottom 20-30% of their respective statewide rankings.

When comparing Vineland Elementary to other schools in the immediate vicinity, such as Central Elementary, Kenmore Elementary, and Foster Elementary, it becomes clear that Vineland is underperforming. The nearby San Jose Charter Academy, a public charter school, consistently outperforms Vineland and the state of California across all academic measures, suggesting that the charter school model may be more effective in this area. Vineland Elementary's exceptionally high free and reduced lunch rates, over 93% in recent years, coupled with its underperformance, indicate that the school faces significant challenges in serving a student population with high economic needs, which likely contributes to the school's struggles with attendance, academic achievement, and supporting student subgroups.

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.
