Junction K-8

Summary:

Junction K-8 is a public elementary and middle school located in Livermore, California, serving 861 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the Livermore Valley Joint Unified school district, which is ranked 399 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Despite being part of a relatively well-performing district, Junction K-8 consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 31.89% of Junction K-8 students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 60.11% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 5.8% in 2018-2019 to 32.2% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Junction K-8 has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 52.73% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

When compared to nearby schools in the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District, such as Altamont Creek Elementary, Rancho Las Positas Elementary, and Emma C. Smith Elementary, Junction K-8 consistently underperforms in academic achievement, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. These nearby schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and serve a lower percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's declining performance and struggles to support the academic achievement of specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, suggest that Junction K-8 may need to implement comprehensive strategies to address these challenges and provide a high-quality education for all its students.

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.
