Rosa Parks Elementary

Summary:

Rosa Parks Elementary is a public elementary school in Lynwood, California, serving 403 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Lynwood Unified School District, which is ranked 1207 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rosa Parks Elementary faces significant challenges, including a dramatic increase in chronic absenteeism, from 12.9% in 2017-2018 to 49.2% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the district and state averages. The school's academic performance is also a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science consistently lower than the Lynwood Unified and California state averages. Additionally, over 94% of Rosa Parks Elementary students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may be a significant factor contributing to the school's challenges.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Lynwood Unified District, such as Lindbergh Elementary, Washington Elementary, and Janie P. Abbott Elementary, generally perform better than Rosa Parks Elementary on key metrics. However, these nearby schools still struggle with low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism compared to state averages. Addressing the issues at Rosa Parks Elementary and the broader Lynwood Unified District through targeted interventions and support could be crucial for improving educational outcomes for the 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.
