Leggett Valley Elementary

Summary:

Leggett Valley Elementary is a small public elementary school in Leggett, California, serving grades K-8 with just 58 students. Over the past few years, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools based on the Leggett Valley Elementary SchoolDigger statewide ranking.

Leggett Valley Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 15.5% in 2018-2019 to 66.1% in 2022-2023, well above the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Whale Gulch Elementary (21.2%) and Redway Elementary (53.3%). Academically, the school's performance in both English Language Arts and Mathematics is significantly below the state and Leggett Valley Unified district averages, with only 25% of students proficient or better in ELA and just 17.5% in Mathematics.

Leggett Valley Elementary also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.33% to 51.72% over the past few years, which is higher than the rates at Whale Gulch Elementary (42.42%) but lower than Redway Elementary (70.9%) and Laytonville Elementary (68.14%). The school's small size, with a low student-teacher ratio, may present both advantages and challenges in addressing these issues.

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.
