Southshore Elementary

Summary:

Southshore Elementary is a public elementary school located in Menifee, California, serving 874 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Menifee Union School District, which is ranked 607 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Southshore Elementary's academic performance on standardized tests is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are comparable to nearby schools, it has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.2% in 2018-2019 to 25.8% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the surrounding schools. Additionally, Southshore Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.21% to 53.7%, compared to the nearby schools, which have rates ranging from 40.87% to 74.17%. The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio of 24.2, which is higher than the nearby schools, which range from 19.6 to 25.5.

These key insights suggest that Southshore Elementary faces unique challenges, such as higher chronic absenteeism, a greater proportion of students from low-income families, and a higher student-teacher ratio, which may be impacting its academic performance compared to the surrounding Romoland Elementary and Hemet Unified school districts. Addressing these areas of concern could help the school improve student outcomes and better support its diverse student population.

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.
