Temperance-Kutner Elementary

Summary:

Temperance-Kutner Elementary is a public elementary school located in Fresno, California, serving grades K-6 with a student population of 634. It is part of the Clovis Unified School District, which is ranked 326 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Temperance-Kutner Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 8.5% in 2018-2019 to 40.2% in 2021-2022, this is notably higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores, while improving in some areas, generally lag behind the Clovis Unified School District and the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics are 47.53% and 38.59%, respectively, compared to the district's 67.06% and 52.41%, and the state's 47.04% and 35.54%. The school's performance is particularly low for Asian students, ranking in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools in this subgroup. Temperance-Kutner Elementary also has a high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.02% to 82.09% over the past three school years, significantly higher than nearby schools like Gettysburg Elementary (53.05%) and Janet L. Young Elementary (36.79%).

The school's declining performance trend, with its statewide ranking steadily declining from 1,197 out of 5,390 California elementary schools in 2011-2012 to 2,270 out of 5,862 in 2023-2024, is concerning and suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and support for students. Additionally, the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Temperance-Kutner Elementary likely contributes to the school's academic challenges, and addressing the achievement gaps and providing targeted support for underperforming subgroups should be a priority for the school and district.

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.
