Badillo Elementary

Summary:

Badillo Elementary is a public elementary school located in Covina, California, serving grades K-6 with a student population of 440. It is part of the Charter Oak Unified School District, which is ranked 642 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Badillo Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, lower test scores compared to the district and state, and inconsistent performance across different student subgroups. The school's chronic absenteeism rates have risen significantly, from 10.0% in 2018-2019 to 29.9% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the nearby Willow Elementary (26.8%) and Washington Elementary (27.1%). Additionally, Badillo's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the Charter Oak Unified District and the state of California averages.

While Badillo Elementary's performance on various student subgroups is mixed, with Hispanic students and Special Education students performing relatively better, the school struggles with its White student and Low Socio-Economic Status student populations, ranking in the bottom 50% and bottom 60% of California elementary schools, respectively. This may be attributed to the school's higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 52.2% to 69.09% over the past few years, and the relatively high student-teacher ratio, which has remained between 21.3 and 22.7 over the same period.

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.
