Bend Elementary

Summary:

Bend Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in Red Bluff, California, with 98 students enrolled and a student-teacher ratio of 16.1. The school is part of the Evergreen Union District, which is ranked 862 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bend Elementary generally performs better than the Evergreen Union District and the state average in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, Bend Elementary had 54.84% of students proficient or better in ELA End of Course, compared to 50.41% for the district and 47.04% for the state. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 0.0% in 2018-2019 to 17.0% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and the nearby Evergreen Elementary school. Bend Elementary also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 53.06% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the nearby Evergreen Elementary (59.24%) but higher than the other Red Bluff-area schools.

The nearby Cottonwood Creek Charter school stands out as a high-performing school, with significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Mathematics compared to Bend Elementary, the district, and the state. This suggests that the charter school model may be providing a more effective educational approach for the local community. Overall, Bend Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within its district, but the increase in chronic absenteeism and the presence of higher-performing nearby options present opportunities for the school to further improve and better serve its students.

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.
