Summary:

Nile Garden Elementary is a public K-8 school in Manteca, California, serving 1,070 students. This school consistently outperforms the Manteca Unified School District and the state of California in academic assessments, with particularly strong results in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics.

Nile Garden Elementary's academic performance is a standout, with proficiency rates ranging from 34% to 62% in ELA/Literacy and 40% to 44% in Mathematics, compared to the district's 26% to 41% and 22% to 29%, respectively. The school also excels in CAST Science assessments, outperforming the district and state. Notably, Nile Garden's English Language Learner and Hispanic student populations perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 300-419 and 1,138-1,994 out of over 5,000 California elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's Asian and White student subgroups have relatively lower performance.

While Nile Garden Elementary's academic achievements are impressive, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4% in 2017-2018 to 20.6% in 2022-2023. This trend is concerning and may impact the school's overall performance. Compared to nearby schools, Nile Garden generally outperforms its peers, particularly Veritas Elementary, which is the closest school and also performs well. Other nearby schools, such as Stella Brockman, Shasta, and Golden West, have lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates.

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.
