Summary:

Rustic Lane Elementary is a public elementary school in Riverside, California, serving 541 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Jurupa Unified School District, which is ranked 1304 out of 1568 districts in the state.

Rustic Lane Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. The school struggles to support various student subgroups, with all subgroups ranking in the bottom 20-30% of California schools. Additionally, Rustic Lane has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.3% in 2017-2018 to 34.7% in 2022-2023, which is substantially higher than the district and state averages. The school also serves a high percentage of students from low-income families, ranging from 85.47% to 87.5% over the past three school years.

The data suggests that Rustic Lane Elementary faces unique challenges or resource constraints that are hindering its ability to support student learning and achievement, and targeted interventions and support will be necessary to address these issues.

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.
