King Elementary

Summary:

King Elementary is a public elementary school in Fresno, California, serving 585 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Fresno Unified School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

King Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools, with significantly lower academic performance than the district and state averages. In 2023-2024, only 19.42% of King Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 34.72% for Fresno Unified and 47.04% for California. The school also has a much higher chronic absenteeism rate of 32.5%, well above the district and state averages. Additionally, 98.97% of King Elementary students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, significantly higher than the surrounding area.

Compared to nearby schools like Sunset Elementary, Lowell Elementary, and Lincoln Elementary, King Elementary's performance lags behind, with lower proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism. However, the school's English Language Learner students perform relatively better, suggesting that the school may be providing effective support for this population. Addressing the unique needs of King Elementary's predominantly underprivileged student body will likely require a comprehensive, targeted approach.

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.

Impact of COVID-19 on King Elementary
