Panorama Elementary

Summary:

Panorama Elementary is a public elementary school located in Daly City, California, serving 117 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Brisbane Elementary School District, which is ranked 224 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Panorama Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics across all grade levels. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in ELA/Literacy (73.58%) and Mathematics (53.57%) were significantly higher than the state averages (47.04% and 35.54%, respectively). The school's performance is particularly strong in 4th grade, where 94.12% of students were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, and 88.24% were proficient or better in Mathematics. However, Panorama Elementary has experienced an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.7% in 2017-2018 to 24.8% in 2022-2023, which is still lower than some nearby schools like Longfellow Elementary (39.1%) and Sheridan Elementary (55.3%).

Panorama Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with only 29.91% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, significantly lower than the surrounding schools such as Cleveland Elementary (75.08%) and Guadalupe Elementary (73.74%). This suggests that the school's student population is more socioeconomically diverse than its neighbors, which could provide unique learning opportunities and perspectives for the students. Overall, Panorama Elementary appears to be a high-performing school with a focus on academic excellence, but it may need to address the increasing chronic absenteeism to ensure continued success for all its 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.
