Fred L. Williams Elementary

Summary:

Fred L. Williams Elementary is a public elementary school in Oxnard, California, serving 593 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Hueneme Elementary School District, which is ranked 1354 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fred L. Williams Elementary faces significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and persistent performance gaps among student subgroups. The school's proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments are consistently lower than the district and state averages, and it struggles to support its economically disadvantaged student population, with a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Nearby schools within the Hueneme Elementary School District, such as Parkview Elementary and Richard Bard Elementary, perform slightly better, but still lag behind the state averages.

The school's persistent low performance, with rankings in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools over the past decade, suggests the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the underlying issues. Potential areas for improvement include strengthening science instruction and curriculum, as well as providing more targeted support and differentiated instruction to meet the diverse needs of the student population, particularly for English Language Learners and students of low socioeconomic status.

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.
