John Adams Elementary

Summary:

John Adams Elementary is a public elementary school in Corona, CA, serving 605 students in grades K-6 and part of the Corona-Norco Unified school district.

While the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.5% to 31.7% in recent years, its academic performance lags behind district and state averages across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Notably, the school's English Language Learners and Special Education students perform in the bottom 25% of California elementary schools, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds rank in the bottom 50%. In contrast, nearby schools like Lincoln Fundamental Elementary and Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary consistently outperform John Adams Elementary in academic measures and have lower chronic absenteeism rates.

To address these challenges, John Adams Elementary will need to take a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve instructional practices, provide targeted interventions, and foster a more inclusive and engaging school environment. By learning from the successes of nearby high-performing schools, the school can work towards closing the achievement gaps and ensuring all students have the opportunity to thrive.

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.
