Academically, Timber Point Elementary's performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy ranged from 36.67% (3rd grade) to 47.54% (5th grade), compared to the district's 49.57% (3rd grade) to 60.16% (5th grade) and the state's 42.8% (3rd grade) to 47.37% (5th grade). In Mathematics, Timber Point's proficiency rates ranged from 38.33% (3rd grade) to 58.73% (4th grade), while the district's ranged from 58.12% (3rd grade) to 51.88% (4th grade), and the state's ranged from 45.64% (3rd grade) to 41.2% (4th grade). The school's performance in Science, as measured by the CAST assessment, is also lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, Timber Point Elementary has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.2% in 2020-2021 to 29.6% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Timber Point Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby Marsh Creek Elementary (Brentwood Union) and Old River Elementary (Knightsen), which have higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students with disabilities, is relatively stronger compared to the overall school performance. These findings suggest that Timber Point Elementary may benefit from targeted interventions and strategies to improve student attendance and academic achievement, particularly in Mathematics.

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.
