Arroyo West Elementary

Summary:

Arroyo West Elementary is a public elementary school in Moorpark, California, serving 435 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Moorpark Unified School District, which is ranked 305 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

While Arroyo West generally performs better than the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, it lags behind the district average. The school's White students consistently outperform their Hispanic and English Language Learner peers, and students with Special Education needs or from low-income families also struggle academically. Arroyo West has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.3% in 2020-2021 to 16.6% in 2022-2023. Compared to nearby schools in the Moorpark Unified district, such as Campus Canyon Elementary, Peach Hill Academy, and Walnut Canyon Elementary, Arroyo West's performance is generally lower, with these schools having higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and fewer students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Addressing the achievement gaps among student subgroups, the rising chronic absenteeism, and the overall academic performance at Arroyo West will be crucial for the school and the Moorpark Unified School District to better serve the diverse needs of their students and improve educational outcomes.

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.
