Sanchez (George I.) Elementary

Summary:

Sanchez (George I.) Elementary is a public elementary school located in Rosemead, California, serving 284 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Garvey Elementary School District, which is ranked 388 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Sanchez (George I.) Elementary has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of California elementary schools, with student performance on standardized tests generally below the district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates range from around 30% to 60% across different grade levels and subjects, lagging behind nearby schools like Duff Language Magnet Academy and Monterey Vista Elementary, which consistently outperform it. The school also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with around 80% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a contributing factor to its academic underperformance.

However, the school's performance for English Language Learner (ELL) students is relatively stronger, ranking in the top 10-15% of California elementary schools for this subgroup. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from around 5% in 2018-2019 to over 30% in 2021-2022, which is a concerning trend that likely has a direct impact on the school's overall academic outcomes. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and learning from the successes of higher-performing schools in the district could be key to improving the educational experience for students at Sanchez (George I.) 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.
