Summary:

Anna Yates Elementary is a public K-8 school in Emeryville, California, serving a student population of 439. The school is part of the Emery Unified School District, which is ranked 878 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Anna Yates Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 20.7% in 2017-2018 to 33.3% in 2022-2023 (notably higher than the state average of 14.3%), the school's academic performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments, is generally below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were 40.29% and 20.79%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%. Additionally, while the school performs relatively well for its African American students, its performance for other subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, is more concerning.

When comparing Anna Yates Elementary to nearby schools, such as Peralta Elementary, which is located just 1.58 miles away, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. Peralta Elementary has significantly higher academic proficiency rates and a lower chronic absenteeism rate. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and the school's socioeconomic status, with 61.73% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing factors to the lower academic performance at Anna Yates Elementary. By addressing these issues and learning from the successes of nearby high-performing schools, the school has the potential to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience 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.

Their anti-bulling program was put into effect a little too late for my child. I found the teacher and principal to be dismissive and even questioned the validity of my claims, in a very disrespectful manner that I would not have expected from a principal.. I have heard many similar concerns from other parents so I truly hope that the current program is effective for the children's sake and their safety. I can not speak on their current program but due to their unconcern for my child the effects from the experience in this school still haunt the interactions at the new school. Close Quote

Anna Yates Elementary is a K-8 school with strong science and arts programs. Thanks to Emeryville's strong tax base, and City Support, it's one of the few schools that have been able to maintain and grow its programs during the Great Recession. This year, all 7th graders received iPads for research and as potential replacements for heavy text books. The School community creates a sense of family and it has been a safe and nurturing place for my two daughters. Check out the school garden, science center, music program and theater class. My daughter's teachers have been great and their test scores are excellent. Close Quote

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.
