Alice N. Stroud Elementary

Summary:

Alice N. Stroud Elementary is a public elementary school in Modesto, California, serving 433 students in grades K-6 and part of the Empire Union Elementary District.

Alice N. Stroud Elementary has faced significant challenges in recent years. The school has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 10.3% in 2017-2018 to 39.1% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state and district averages. Academically, the school consistently scores below the district and state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, and its performance in CAST Science assessments is particularly low, with only 10.77% of students scoring proficient or better, compared to the district's 16.69% and the state's 30.7%. The school also struggles to support its diverse student population, with lower rankings for female, male, Hispanic, and white student subgroups compared to state averages, and especially concerning performance for English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Capistrano Elementary, Bernard L. Hughes Elementary, and Christine Sipherd Elementary, Alice N. Stroud Elementary generally performs worse across various metrics. However, when compared to schools in other districts, such as Orchard Elementary, Lakewood Elementary, and Sonoma Elementary, the school's performance is more mixed, with some schools performing better and others performing worse. The high percentage of students from low-income families, along with the significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, suggest that Alice N. Stroud Elementary is facing significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student learning and academic achievement.

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.
