Loma Verde Elementary

Summary:

Loma Verde Elementary is a public elementary school in Chula Vista, California, serving 487 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Chula Vista Elementary School District, which is ranked 537 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Loma Verde Elementary faces several challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, consistently underperforming test scores compared to the district and state, and achievement gaps among student subgroups. The school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and a higher student-teacher ratio than nearby schools, which may contribute to these issues. Notably, Loma Verde's performance has declined over the years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and star ratings from SchoolDigger.

While Loma Verde Elementary shares many characteristics with nearby schools like Rohr (Fred H.) Elementary and Otay Elementary, it consistently underperforms in academic measures. This suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies and support systems to address the persistent challenges and equity concerns. However, the school's relatively strong performance in certain areas, such as the performance of English Language Learners and students with disabilities, indicates that Loma Verde has the potential to improve with the right interventions and support.

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.
