Fairgrove Academy

Summary:

Fairgrove Academy is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in La Puente, California, with 742 students. The school is part of the Hacienda la Puente Unified School District, which is ranked 782 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fairgrove Academy faces several challenges that differentiate it from the surrounding schools. The school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.8% in 2017-2018 to 26.5% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, Fairgrove Academy's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 40.32% of Fairgrove Academy students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 48.59% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, Fairgrove Academy's proficiency rate was 27.72%, while the district and state were 36.92% and 35.54%, respectively.

Fairgrove Academy's performance has been declining relative to other schools in the state, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1,308 out of 5,390 California elementary schools in 2011-2012 to 3,558 out of 5,862 in 2023-2024. While the school is part of the same district as the nearby Workman Elementary, which outperforms Fairgrove Academy in both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics proficiency rates, Fairgrove Academy's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, as indicated by the free and reduced lunch rates, may contribute to the school's lower performance.

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.
