Summary:

Workman Elementary is a public elementary school located in La Puente, California, serving grades K-6 with 329 students.

Workman Elementary's student performance is quite uneven across grade levels, with strong performance in 3rd and 6th grades but significant struggles in 5th grade. The school has also seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.3% in 2018-2019 to 37.0% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Workman Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, with 74.45% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2021-2022, higher than the district average. When compared to nearby schools, Valinda School of Academics and Cedarlane Academy generally outperform Workman Elementary, while other nearby schools tend to have lower proficiency rates.

Addressing the uneven student performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges at Workman Elementary will be crucial for improving outcomes for its students. The school and Hacienda la Puente Unified School District may need to explore additional resources, support, and targeted interventions to help these students succeed.

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.
