Hoopa Valley Elementary

Summary:

Hoopa Valley Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in Hoopa, California, with 398 students. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hoopa Valley Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 32.6% to 86.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Burnt Ranch Elementary (46.3%) and Trinity Valley Elementary (53.0%). The school's academic performance is also very low, with only 2.59% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 17.66% for the Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified district and 47.04% statewide. Additionally, Hoopa Valley Elementary has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds, with 76.13% to 81.71% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's consistently low rankings, the data indicates that there may be opportunities for improvement. Nearby schools like Burnt Ranch Elementary and Fieldbrook Elementary perform significantly better on academic measures, with proficiency rates often double or triple those of Hoopa Valley Elementary. This suggests that with the right strategies and interventions, Hoopa Valley Elementary has the potential to better serve its students, particularly its Native American population, who rank among the lowest-performing in the state.

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.
