West Park Elementary

Summary:

West Park Elementary is a public elementary school in Napa, California, serving 274 students in grades K-5 as part of the Napa Valley Unified school district.

While the school has a lower student-teacher ratio than nearby schools, it consistently underperforms the district and state in academic assessments. Only 19-37% of West Park students are proficient in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 38-46% in the district and 43-47% statewide. In Mathematics, just 12-33% of West Park students are proficient, lagging behind the district and state. The school's performance on science assessments is also below average, with only 21% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better. Concerningly, West Park has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8% to 40% in recent years, much higher than the district and state.

West Park's struggles may be linked to its high percentage of students from low-income families (62%) and the challenges they face. Nearby Willow Elementary, Northwood Elementary, and Browns Valley Elementary all have higher academic proficiency and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing West Park's attendance and socioeconomic challenges could be crucial to improving student outcomes and providing a better educational experience.

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.
