Summary:

Hueneme Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently low test scores, a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio. The school's chronic absenteeism rates have risen from 12.1% in 2017-2018 to 39.8% in 2022-2023, much higher than the state average and nearby schools like Richard Bard Elementary and Sunkist Elementary. Hueneme Elementary's test scores are also consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 20.28% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 25.35% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Hueneme Elementary, ranging from 61.67% to 74.7%, suggests that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the school's challenges in academic performance. Compared to nearby schools within the Hueneme Elementary School District and the Oxnard district, Hueneme Elementary is generally performing worse academically, indicating that the school may face unique challenges or require more targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
