Glen Oak Elementary

Summary:

Glen Oak Elementary is a public elementary school in Covina, California, serving 385 students in grades K-6 as part of the Charter Oak Unified School District. While the district is ranked 642 out of 1,568 in California, Glen Oak Elementary faces several challenges, including lower test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and disparities in performance across different student groups.

Glen Oak Elementary's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics at 46.63% and 35.03%, respectively, compared to the district's 51.33% and 38% and the state's 47.04% and 35.54%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student groups, with Hispanic students performing relatively better but White students and students with disabilities performing significantly worse. Additionally, Glen Oak Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.18% to 76.13% over the past few years, which is higher than nearby schools like Washington Elementary (52.53%) and Badillo Elementary (59.32%).

One of the most concerning trends at Glen Oak Elementary is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.2% in 2017-2018 to 31.6% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district average of 27.1% at nearby Washington Elementary. Addressing the underlying causes of high absenteeism could be a key focus area for the school and district, as it may be impacting the overall academic performance. Comparing Glen Oak Elementary to its nearby counterparts suggests that socioeconomic factors and the needs of specific student populations may be contributing to these challenges, and addressing these areas could be crucial for improving the school's overall academic outcomes.

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.
