Idyllwild

Summary:

Idyllwild is an elementary school located in Idyllwild, CA that serves grades K-8 and has 269 students. The school is part of the Hemet Unified School District, which is ranked 1185 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Idyllwild consistently outperforms the Hemet Unified School District and the state of California in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, Idyllwild had 55.56% of students proficient or better in ELA End of Course, compared to 32.17% for Hemet Unified and 47.04% for California. In math, Idyllwild had 39.68% proficient or better in End of Course, compared to 16.83% for Hemet Unified and 35.54% for California. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.1% in 2017-2018 to 20.5% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern. Idyllwild also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.04% to 73.23% over the past few years.

When compared to other schools in the Hemet Unified district, Little Lake Elementary and Hamilton Elementary, which are both within 12 miles of Idyllwild, have significantly lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, while Idyllwild's performance on standardized tests is relatively consistent across different student subgroups, the school's performance for White students is slightly lower than other subgroups, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years. Overall, Idyllwild is a relatively high-performing school within the Hemet Unified district, but its increasing chronic absenteeism rates and declining performance over time are areas of concern.

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.
