Marylin Avenue Elementary

Summary:

Marylin Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school in Livermore, California, serving 358 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District, which is ranked 399 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating. However, Marylin Avenue Elementary has received 2-3 stars out of 5 from SchoolDigger in recent years, indicating it is performing below average compared to other California elementary schools.

Marylin Avenue Elementary consistently underperforms the district and state on standardized tests, with only 36.65% of its students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 39.52% proficient in math, compared to 60.11% and 49.23% for the district, respectively. The school also has a much higher rate of chronic absenteeism, at 24.1%, versus around 20% for the district. Additionally, Marylin Avenue has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.83% to 67.96% in recent years, much higher than the district average of 30-35%. When compared to nearby schools like Sunset Elementary, Lawrence Elementary, and Emma C. Smith Elementary, Marylin Avenue consistently underperforms on test scores and has higher rates of chronic absenteeism and poverty.

The high rates of poverty and increasing chronic absenteeism at Marylin Avenue Elementary may be contributing factors to the lower academic performance, and the school's subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities, tend to perform worse than their peers at the school and district level. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help the school and its students reach their full potential.

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.
