Lagunitas Elementary

Summary:

Lagunitas Elementary is a public K-8 school located in San Geronimo, California, serving a student population of 129. The school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, where it outperforms the state average across all grade levels.

Lagunitas Elementary's test scores are a key differentiator, with proficiency rates ranging from 64% to 68.42% in ELA/Literacy and 36% to 52.63% in Mathematics, compared to the state's 45.82% to 47.19% and 31.57% to 34.31%, respectively. The school also performs well in CAST Science assessments, with proficiency rates exceeding the state's. However, Lagunitas Elementary's chronic absenteeism rates have fluctuated, ranging from 6.9% to 40.3% over the past few years, which is an area of concern. Compared to nearby schools, such as Wade Thomas Elementary and Hidden Valley Elementary in the Ross Valley Elementary District, Lagunitas Elementary's test scores are lower, with those schools often exceeding 70% proficiency in both ELA and Mathematics.

Despite its strong academic performance, Lagunitas Elementary's ranking and rating history have fluctuated, ranging from a high of 1,230 out of 4,818 California elementary schools in 2005-2006 (rated 4 out of 5 stars) to a low of 4,695 out of 5,193 in 2008-2009 (rated 0 out of 5 stars). The school's current ranking for the 2023-2024 school year is 2,547 out of 5,862 California elementary schools, with a 3-star rating. Overall, Lagunitas Elementary's strong academic performance, particularly in core subjects, is a notable strength, but its chronic absenteeism rates and lower performance compared to nearby high-achieving schools warrant further attention and improvement efforts.

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.
