Roy Herburger Elementary

Summary:

Roy Herburger Elementary is a public elementary school in Elk Grove, CA, serving 917 students in grades K-6 and part of the Elk Grove Unified School District. This school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic assessments, particularly in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, where proficiency rates range from 52% to 60% compared to 42% to 54% for the state.

Roy Herburger Elementary excels in supporting certain student subgroups, ranking in the top 5-10% of California elementary schools for English Language Learners and the top 10-20% for African American and low-income students. However, the school's performance for Asian and multi-racial students is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom 30-40% of California elementary schools in these subgroups. This suggests a need to examine equity and inclusion practices at the school to ensure all students have the support they need to succeed.

While Roy Herburger Elementary is a strong-performing school, it has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.3% in 2020-2021 to 21.3% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages. This is an area of concern that the school and district should address, as high chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Overall, Roy Herburger Elementary is a high-performing school, but it faces challenges in maintaining equitable outcomes and addressing chronic absenteeism.

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.
