Cinnamon Elementary

Summary:

Cinnamon Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lemoore, California, serving grades K-6 with a student population of 469. It is part of the Lemoore Union Elementary School District, which is ranked 646 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cinnamon Elementary faces several challenges, including lower test scores compared to the district and state averages, a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of students from low-income families. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the nearby P.W. Engvall Elementary and Meadow Lane Elementary schools within the district. However, Cinnamon Elementary's performance is better than some schools outside the district, such as Armona Elementary and Central Elementary, which have significantly lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Cinnamon Elementary, reaching 80.38% in 2022-2023, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, as socioeconomic status is often correlated with educational outcomes. Additionally, the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 4.7% in 2018-2019 to 25.2% in 2020-2021, could also be a factor impacting student learning and achievement. Addressing these challenges could be crucial in improving Cinnamon Elementary's academic outcomes.

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.
