Cal Aero Preserve Academy

Summary:

Cal Aero Preserve Academy is an elementary school located in Chino, California, serving 1,673 students in grades K-8 and part of the Chino Valley Unified School District.

Cal Aero Preserve Academy is a high-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 22% of California elementary schools over the past decade and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school particularly excels with certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and African American students, ranking in the top 3% and top 18% of California elementary schools, respectively, for these groups. However, the school's performance with Asian and White student subgroups is relatively weaker. Cal Aero Preserve Academy's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are consistently higher than the Chino Valley Unified School District and the state of California averages across all grade levels.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Butterfield Ranch Elementary, Cal Aero Preserve Academy generally outperforms them in terms of statewide ranking, test scores, and student group performance. This may be due in part to the school's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it serves a more affluent student population. Additionally, Cal Aero Preserve Academy's student-teacher ratio of 24.4 is slightly higher than the state average but lower than some of the nearby schools in the Corona-Norco Unified district, which may contribute to the school's academic success.

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.
