Alicante Avenue Elementary

Summary:

Alicante Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lamont, California, serving 990 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Lamont Elementary District, which is ranked 1418 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alicante Avenue Elementary faces significant challenges, including a notable increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 5.7% in 2017-2018 to 36.2% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the district's 2022-2023 rate of 34.3% and the state's average. The school's academic performance is also a concern, as it consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages across various standardized assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 11.81% to 28.1% in English Language Arts/Literacy, 11.9% to 28.17% in Mathematics, and 7.48% to 11.81% in Spanish. Additionally, the school's student subgroups, such as female students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, consistently rank in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools, indicating significant achievement gaps.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Horizon Elementary and Grow Academy Arvin, Alicante Avenue Elementary consistently underperforms across various metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and student subgroup performance. This suggests that the challenges faced by the school are not solely due to its district or geographic location, but rather specific to the school itself. The high rates of poverty, as indicated by the free and reduced lunch eligibility, and the increasing chronic absenteeism may be contributing factors to the school's low academic performance, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the school and its student population.

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.
