Concerningly, the school's performance for English Language Learners and students with disabilities is in the bottom 50% of California elementary schools.

Another significant challenge for Humphreys Avenue Elementary is its high and increasing chronic absenteeism rate, which rose from 10.6% in 2017-2018 to 32.3% in 2022-2023, exceeding the district and state averages. The school also serves a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 95.34% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While nearby schools like Marianna Avenue Elementary, Ford Boulevard Elementary, and Morris K. Hamasaki Elementary generally perform better academically, they also serve similar high-needs student populations, suggesting that addressing the root causes of these challenges will be crucial for improving student outcomes at Humphreys Avenue Elementary.

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.
