Joseph Azevada Elementary is a public K-5 school in Fremont, California, with a total enrollment of 336 students. The school is part of the Fremont Unified School District, which is ranked 174 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Joseph Azevada Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 20% of California elementary schools over the past several years, with strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's rankings for various student subgroups, including female students, male students, and English Language Learners, are also consistently in the top 20-30% of California elementary schools. However, the school's performance for Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is relatively lower, with rankings in the 40-60% range. Additionally, Joseph Azevada Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 4.6% in 2017-2018 to 21.2% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than nearby schools like O.N. Hirsch Elementary (9.3%) and John G. Mattos Elementary (16.6%).

The increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Joseph Azevada Elementary, from 16.28% in 2021-2022 to 29.46% in 2022-2023, suggests that the school's population is becoming more economically diverse. This may have implications for the school's resource allocation, support services, and strategies to ensure equitable access to educational opportunities for all students. Overall, Joseph Azevada Elementary is a high-performing school, but the school's increasing chronic absenteeism and achievement gaps for certain subgroups present opportunities for further investigation and targeted interventions to support the success of all students.

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.
