Summary:

Jersey Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school located in Santa Fe Springs, California, serving 343 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Little Lake City Elementary School District, which is ranked 427 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jersey Avenue Elementary has consistently ranked in the top half of California elementary schools, with its Hispanic and low socioeconomic status student subgroups performing particularly well, ranking in the top quarter of the state. The school's performance on standardized tests is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, with some notable exceptions, such as outperforming the state average in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.6% in 2017-2018 to 30.2% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools like Lakeland Elementary and Cresson Elementary, Jersey Avenue Elementary performs similarly or slightly better on most academic measures. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate is an area of concern that warrants further investigation and potential intervention to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
