John Stallings Elementary

Summary:

John Stallings Elementary is a public elementary school in Corona, California, serving 506 students in grades K-6 and part of the Corona-Norco Unified School District. However, the school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and a disproportionately high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

John Stallings Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 12.2% in 2018-2019 to 34.8% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than nearby schools like Foothill Elementary (23.3%) and Jefferson Elementary (24.7%). Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, particularly in Mathematics, where proficiency rates range from 20% to 51.22%, compared to the district's 35.76% to 47.41% and the state's 34.31% to 45.64%. Furthermore, John Stallings Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 83.79% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than nearby schools.

When comparing John Stallings Elementary to other schools within the same district, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming in several key areas. Schools like Susan B. Anthony Elementary, Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary, and Benjamin Franklin Elementary consistently outperform John Stallings Elementary in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates, as well as having lower chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has been declining, from 2,516 out of 5,883 California elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 3,249 out of 5,862 in 2023-2024, suggesting that it is not keeping pace with the performance of other elementary schools in the state.

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.
