Easterby Elementary

Summary:

Easterby Elementary is a public elementary school in Fresno, California, serving 669 students from kindergarten to 6th grade. The school is part of the Fresno Unified School District, which is ranked 1082 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Easterby Elementary generally outperforms the Fresno Unified School District and the state of California in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with higher proficiency rates across all grade levels. However, the school struggles with a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 12.9% in 2018-2019 to 51.8% in 2021-2022, which may be impacting its overall academic performance. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, ranging from 90.08% to 92.68% over the past three school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, while Easterby Elementary outperforms other schools in the Fresno Unified School District, it is significantly outperformed by Fancher Creek Elementary, a school in the nearby Clovis Unified School District located just 1.83 miles away. This suggests that the quality of education and resources available in the Clovis Unified School District may be a contributing factor to the higher academic performance of Fancher Creek Elementary compared to Easterby Elementary and other Fresno Unified schools.

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.
