Snow Elementary

Summary:

Snow Elementary is a public elementary school in Napa, California, serving 385 students in grades K-5. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, low academic performance, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Snow Elementary has much higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to nearby schools like Browns Valley Elementary and Bel Aire Park Elementary. The school also consistently underperforms the Napa Valley Unified School District and the state of California on standardized tests, with only 19.51% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 18.23% proficient in Mathematics. This is particularly concerning in 4th and 5th-grade Mathematics, where proficiency rates are below 13%.

Additionally, Snow Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 84.42% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 22.6, compared to the nearby schools. These factors, combined with the school's declining statewide ranking over the past several years, suggest that Snow Elementary needs to implement significant interventions to improve the educational outcomes for its students.

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.
