Summary:

Spring Grove Elementary consistently ranks in the top third of California elementary schools, with strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts/Literacy and Science. The school's proficiency rates on Smarter Balanced Assessments are 5-10 percentage points higher than the state average in these subjects. Spring Grove also performs well for its White, Hispanic, and English Language Learner student subgroups, ranking in the top 20-25% of California elementary schools for these groups. However, the school's performance for Multi-racial and Low Socioeconomic Status students is less strong, ranking in the bottom half and bottom third of the state, respectively.

While Spring Grove Elementary generally outperforms other public schools in the Hollister area, the nearby Hollister Prep charter school outperforms Spring Grove across most academic measures. Additionally, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism in recent years, reaching 16.1% in the 2022-2023 school year, though still below the state average. Overall, Spring Grove Elementary is a strong-performing school, but it should continue to monitor and address any achievement gaps for its more vulnerable student subgroups and work to improve attendance rates.

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.
