Shore Acres Elementary

Summary:

Shore Acres Elementary is a public elementary school in Bay Point, California, serving 409 students in grades K-5 and part of the Mt. Diablo Unified School District. However, the school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Shore Acres Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 46.5% in the 2021-2022 school year, and serving a high-need population, with 60.39% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's poor performance is further highlighted by its proximity to higher-performing schools within the same district, such as Rio Vista Elementary, which has higher proficiency rates and a lower chronic absenteeism rate.

The struggles of Shore Acres Elementary are not limited to overall academic achievement; the school also struggles to support the academic success of various student subgroups, with its Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students ranking in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools in these categories. These challenges suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Shore Acres Elementary.

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.
