West Street Elementary

Summary:

West Street Elementary is a public elementary school located in Corning, California, serving 324 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Corning Union Elementary School District, which is ranked 1447 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a rating of 0 stars out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

West Street Elementary faces significant challenges, including a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 13.6% in 2018-2019 to 25.2% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district average. Academically, the school's students consistently perform below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 24.83% of West Street Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 22.24% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds performing the lowest.

While West Street Elementary and other schools in the Corning Union Elementary district share similar demographic characteristics and performance challenges, some nearby schools outside the district, such as Lake Elementary and Capay Joint Union Elementary, demonstrate significantly higher academic achievement. Examining the practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools could provide valuable insights for West Street Elementary to improve its own performance. Additionally, the extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at West Street Elementary, reaching 88.89% in 2022-2023, indicates a high concentration of poverty in the school's community, which likely plays a significant role in the school's academic challenges.

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.
