Summary:

Lemoore Elementary is a public elementary school serving 542 students in grades K-6 in Lemoore, California, which is part of the Lemoore Union Elementary School District. While the school's overall academic performance on state assessments is generally below the district and state averages, it has some relative strengths, particularly in supporting Hispanic students and English Language Learners.

Lemoore Elementary's student performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments is lower than the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. However, the school's Hispanic students and English Language Learners perform better compared to other subgroups, ranking 1,488th and 637th, respectively, out of over 5,000 California elementary schools in 2021-2022. Additionally, Lemoore Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.3% in 2018-2019 to 35.5% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the district and state averages.

However, the school's relative strengths in supporting Hispanic and English Language Learner students could provide insights for improving outcomes for other student subgroups. Addressing the school's areas of concern, such as the high chronic absenteeism rates and overall academic performance, while building on its strengths, could lead to improved outcomes for the students it serves.

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.
