Summary:

The school is part of the Manteca Unified School District, which is ranked 1142 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

French Camp Elementary faces significant challenges, particularly in terms of chronic absenteeism and academic performance. The school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 11.4% in 2017-2018 to 38.3% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school's performance is especially low for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners, Low Socioeconomic Status students, and Migrant students.

When compared to nearby schools within the same Manteca Unified School District, French Camp Elementary generally performs worse academically. However, when compared to schools in the neighboring Stockton Unified School District, French Camp Elementary's performance is relatively better, particularly in ELA and Mathematics. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and English Language Learners at French Camp Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's academic challenges, along with the relatively high student-teacher ratio of 23.2.

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.
