Frost (Earl) Elementary outperforms its district and the state of California in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics proficiency, with particularly strong performance in 4th and 6th grade English Language Arts and 4th grade Mathematics. The school also performs well for its female and low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top third of California elementary schools in those subgroups. However, Frost (Earl) struggles with its Asian and Hispanic student populations, ranking in the bottom quarter and bottom half of California schools, respectively, for those subgroups. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 5.7% in 2017-2018 to 17.4% in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, Frost (Earl) Elementary generally outperforms Parkview Elementary and Del Roble Elementary in both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. However, the higher-performing Indigo school, located just 0.02 miles away, significantly outperforms Frost (Earl) Elementary across all grade levels and subject areas. This may be due in part to Frost (Earl) Elementary's higher student-teacher ratio of 26.7, compared to the nearby schools, which range from 21.3 to 24.8 students per teacher.

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.
