Cedar Grove Elementary

Summary:

Cedar Grove Elementary is a public elementary school in San Jose, California, serving 541 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Evergreen Elementary School District, which is ranked 327 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

While Cedar Grove Elementary has a consistent 3-star rating, its student performance, as measured by the Smarter Balanced Assessments, is generally lower than the Evergreen Elementary District and the state of California averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts at the end-of-course level was 53.65% at Cedar Grove, compared to 65.28% in the Evergreen Elementary District and 47.04% statewide. Similarly, in Mathematics at the end-of-course level, Cedar Grove had 45.4% proficient or better, compared to 61.05% in the district and 35.54% statewide. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with English Language Learner students and Low Socioeconomic Status students performing relatively well.

Interestingly, Carolyn A. Clark Elementary, another school in the Evergreen Elementary District, consistently outperforms Cedar Grove Elementary across all subject areas and grade levels, while Katherine R. Smith Elementary, also in the district, performs significantly worse. The high percentage of low-income students and the increasing chronic absenteeism rate at Cedar Grove Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's relatively lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages. Addressing these challenges could be important next steps for the school to improve student outcomes.

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.
