Summary:

Sullivan Language Immersion Academy is a public elementary school in Fairfield, CA that serves 381 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District, which is ranked 996 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its language immersion focus, Sullivan Language Immersion Academy consistently underperforms the district and state in standardized test scores, with only 26.22% of students proficient or better in ELA End-of-Course, compared to 40.36% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in 4th grade ELA, where only 15.79% of students were proficient, compared to 38.24% for the district and 43.9% for the state. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5%, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's performance for English Language Learner students is relatively better, ranking in the top 40% of California elementary schools.

Nearby schools, such as Rolling Hills Elementary and Laurel Creek Elementary, generally outperform Sullivan Language Immersion Academy in test scores, but also have higher chronic absenteeism rates, indicating that attendance is a challenge across the district. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 48.03%, suggests that socioeconomic factors likely contribute to the lower academic performance. Addressing the root causes of these issues, such as attendance and socioeconomic factors, will be crucial 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.
