Rose Avenue Elementary

Summary:

Rose Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school in Modesto, California, serving 517 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Modesto City Elementary District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rose Avenue Elementary faces significant challenges, with chronic absenteeism rates rising from 9.7% in 2018-2019 to 30.5% in 2022-2023, well above 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 district and state. Student group performance is particularly troubling, with lower rankings compared to other California elementary schools for female, male, Hispanic, and white students, though the school performs better for English Language Learner and Special Education students. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 75.44% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to the school's struggles.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, Sonoma Elementary and Lakewood Elementary generally outperform Rose Avenue Elementary across multiple metrics. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 2616 out of 5611 California elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 4177 out of 5862 schools in 2023-2024, suggests that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve student outcomes and address the root causes of the school's challenges.

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.
