Summary:

Beckman Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lodi, California, serving grades K-6 with a student population of 534. The school is part of the Lodi Unified School District, which is ranked 951 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Beckman Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 4,500-5,200 out of around 5,800 schools. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating it is performing significantly below average compared to other elementary schools in the state. Beckman Elementary struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and underperformance across various student subgroups. In contrast, nearby schools in the Lodi Unified School District, such as Lawrence Elementary, Vinewood Elementary, and Erma B. Reese Elementary, generally outperform Beckman Elementary across various metrics.

The high percentage of students from low-income families at Beckman Elementary, as indicated by the free and reduced lunch rates, may be a contributing factor to the school's underperformance. The increasing chronic absenteeism rates could also be negatively impacting student learning and academic achievement. Beckman Elementary's consistently low performance and high-need student population suggest that the school could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges it faces and improve its overall performance and 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.
