Kelseyville Elementary

Summary:

Kelseyville Elementary is a public elementary school serving 594 students in grades K-5 in Kelseyville, CA. The school is part of the Kelseyville Unified School District, which is ranked 1340 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Kelseyville Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kelseyville Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (39.9% in 2021-2022, much higher than the state average), low academic performance (only 21.48% of students were proficient or better in ELA and 18.31% in Math, compared to state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively), and struggles to support its most vulnerable student subgroups. The school has a very high percentage of students (over 79%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. In comparison, the nearby Riviera Elementary school, which is also part of the Kelseyville Unified School District, has higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients.

The significant performance gaps between Kelseyville Elementary's subgroups and their statewide counterparts suggest that the school is struggling to provide equitable educational opportunities and support for its most vulnerable students. Additionally, the fact that Kelseyville Unified as a whole is ranked in the bottom 15% of California districts and has multiple low-performing schools indicates that the district may be facing systemic issues that are impacting the quality of education across the region. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to improving educational outcomes and equity.

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.
