Summary:

Roeding Elementary is a public elementary school in Fresno, California, serving 647 students in grades K-6. 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 from SchoolDigger.

Roeding Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 17.8% in 2018-2019 to 54.8% in 2021-2022, well above the district and state averages. Academically, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 31.33% of students proficient or better in ELA and 26.2% in Math. The school struggles to support certain student subgroups, particularly African American and disabled students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of California elementary schools in their respective categories.

While Roeding Elementary performs similarly or slightly better than some nearby schools within the Fresno Unified School District, such as Wilson Elementary and Deborah A. Williams Elementary, the school lags behind higher-performing charter schools in the area, such as Morris E. Dailey Charter Elementary and Aspen Valley Prep Academy. Addressing the root causes of these issues and implementing targeted interventions could be crucial for improving the educational outcomes at Roeding Elementary.

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.
