Strawberry Elementary

Summary:

Strawberry Elementary is a public middle school located in Santa Rosa, California, serving grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 372 students. It is part of the Bennett Valley Union Elementary school district.

Strawberry Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics across all grade levels. For the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in ELA/Literacy (59.13%) and Mathematics (46.32%) are significantly higher than the state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively. The school's performance in Science (CAST) is also above the state average, with 44.44% proficiency compared to the state's 30.7%. However, Strawberry Elementary has experienced fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 1.0% in 2020-2021 to 16.0% in 2022-2023, which is generally lower than the nearby schools, such as Brook Haven Middle (11.6%) and Hillcrest Middle (39.3%).

Strawberry Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 21.28% to 24.47% over the past three school years, which is significantly lower than the nearby schools, which have free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 28.07% to 68.08%. However, the school has a higher student-teacher ratio of 24.8, compared to the nearby schools, which range from 16.5 to 25.5. This suggests that the school may serve a more affluent student population, which could impact the availability of resources and support for students from lower-income families, and the higher student-teacher ratio may impact the level of individual attention and support provided to students.

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.
