Sheridan Elementary

Summary:

Sheridan Elementary is a public elementary school located in Orange Cove, California, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 386 students. It is part of the Kings Canyon Joint Unified School District, which is ranked 612 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sheridan Elementary faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages. In 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in Smarter Balanced Assessments (SBA) English Language Arts (ELA) was 46.38% at Sheridan, compared to 51.17% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In SBA Mathematics, Sheridan's proficiency rate was 34.29%, lower than the district's 37.89% and the state's 35.54%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0%, significantly higher than the 12.3% rate at the nearby Silas Bartsch school.

However, Sheridan Elementary's Hispanic students and English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively better compared to the overall school performance, suggesting potential areas of strength that could be leveraged to drive overall improvement. Comparing Sheridan to nearby schools, such as Silas Bartsch, which consistently outperforms Sheridan in both ELA and Mathematics, may provide valuable insights and opportunities for learning and collaboration to enhance the educational outcomes for Sheridan's students.

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.
