Barbara Comstock Morse Elementary

Summary:

Barbara Comstock Morse Elementary is a public elementary school in Sacramento, California, serving 674 students in grades K-6 and part of the Elk Grove Unified school district.

The school faces several challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 12.8% in 2017-2018 to 34.2% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than nearby schools. Academically, Barbara Comstock Morse Elementary generally performs below the Elk Grove Unified School District and California state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with African American and English Language Learner students performing relatively well, while Asian, Multi-racial, and Special Education students struggle, ranking in the bottom 20-25% of California elementary schools.

The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 55.04% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, likely contributes to the challenges it faces. However, the school's proximity to several higher-performing elementary schools, such as Roy Herburger, Foulks Ranch, and John Ehrhardt, presents opportunities for collaboration and learning. By addressing the specific needs of underperforming student subgroups and leveraging the strengths of its neighboring schools, Barbara Comstock Morse Elementary can work towards improving educational outcomes for its diverse student population.

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.
