Miguelito Elementary

Summary:

Miguelito Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lompoc, California, serving 645 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Lompoc Unified School District, which is ranked 1202 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Miguelito Elementary faces significant challenges, including a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 13.5% in 2018-2019 to 47.2% in 2021-2022. This is notably higher than the nearby Crestview Elementary, which had a 14.0% chronic absenteeism rate in 2022-2023. Academically, Miguelito Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics are generally lower than the Lompoc Unified School District and the state of California averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student groups, with White and English Language Learner students tending to perform better than Hispanic students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Miguelito Elementary's challenges may be linked to its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 63.72% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. This factor, combined with the school's declining performance over time, suggests that Miguelito Elementary may be facing difficulties in addressing the needs of its student population. Addressing these issues will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes of Miguelito Elementary's 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.
