Foothill Elementary

Summary:

Foothill Elementary is a public elementary school located in Corona, California, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 666 students. It is part of the Corona-Norco Unified School District, which is ranked 579 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Foothill Elementary faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to nearby schools like Lincoln Fundamental Elementary, Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary, and Benjamin Franklin Elementary, which consistently rank higher in the state. The school's academic performance, as measured by the Smarter Balanced Assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Foothill Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.8% in 2018-2019 to 24.5% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district's chronic absenteeism rate.

Another area of concern is the significant performance gaps between different student subgroups at Foothill Elementary, particularly for Asian and White students compared to Hispanic and English Language Learner students. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 1,521 out of 5,530 California elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 2,704 out of 5,862 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions, support, and a focus on improving attendance and equity could be crucial for the school's future success.

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.
