Twin Lakes Elementary

Summary:

Twin Lakes Elementary is a public middle school located in El Monte, California, serving grades 2-8 with a total enrollment of 682 students. The school is part of the Mountain View Elementary School District, which is ranked 1306 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Twin Lakes Elementary has faced significant challenges, including a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 5.5% in 2017-2018 to 37.7% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the state average of 8.2%. The school's academic performance also lags behind the state and district averages, with only 23.11% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 17.64% in Mathematics, compared to 47.04% and 35.54% for the state, respectively. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, including female, male, Asian, Hispanic, English Language Learners, Special Education, Low Socioeconomic Status, and Homeless students.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Sparks Middle, Cloverly Elementary, and Richard Henry Dana Middle, Twin Lakes Elementary is underperforming, with lower proficiency rates in core academic areas and higher chronic absenteeism rates. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families, ranging from 72.17% to 78.45%, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. Addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and implementing targeted interventions to support underperforming student subgroups could be crucial steps in improving the school's performance and providing a better educational experience for 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.
