Skyline North Elementary

Summary:

Skyline North Elementary is a public elementary school in Barstow, California, serving 427 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Barstow Unified School District, which is ranked 1471 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Skyline North Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently underperforming academic results compared to the district and state, and struggles to support its diverse student population. The school ranks in the bottom 10-20% of California elementary schools for female, male, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, and its performance for special education and disabled students is also in the bottom 40% of the state. With a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.9% to 78.26%, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio, the school's academic challenges are likely exacerbated by these underlying factors.

Interestingly, Skyline North Elementary performs significantly worse than the other elementary schools in the Barstow Unified School District, including Lenwood Elementary, Barstow Fine Arts Academy, Montara Elementary, Crestline Elementary, Cameron Elementary, and Henderson Elementary. These schools, while still underperforming compared to state averages, generally have higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better support for their student subgroups. Addressing the underlying issues at Skyline North Elementary will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve student success.

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.
