Summary:

Cedarlane Academy is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in Hacienda Heights, California, part of the Hacienda la Puente Unified School District. With 593 students and a student-teacher ratio of around 21:1, Cedarlane Academy has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, currently ranking 1,786 out of 5,862 California elementary schools with a 3-star rating.

Cedarlane Academy outperforms the district and state in several key academic areas, including English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science. The school particularly excels with certain student subgroups, ranking in the top 15% of California elementary schools for English Language Learners and the top 25% for low socioeconomic status students. However, Cedarlane has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.8% in 2017-2018 to 25.5% in 2021-2022, an area of concern the school should address.

Compared to nearby schools in the Hacienda la Puente Unified School District, such as Mesa Robles, Wedgeworth Elementary, and Grazide Elementary, Cedarlane Academy stands out as a top performer, particularly in academic achievement. However, Cedarlane's chronic absenteeism rate is higher than some of these nearby schools.

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.
