Carl B. Munck Elementary

Summary:

Carl B. Munck Elementary is a public elementary school in Oakland, California, serving 179 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Oakland Unified School District, which is ranked 1160 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's 4-star rating for its African American students, Carl B. Munck Elementary faces significant challenges. It has had very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 62.5% to 70.5% in recent years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores on the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science exams are consistently lower than the Oakland Unified and California state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 32.31% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 33.09% for the district and 47.04% for the state. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.4% to 76.24% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Carl B. Munck Elementary to other nearby schools in the Oakland Unified district, it performs significantly worse than higher-performing schools like Melrose Leadership Academy, Redwood Heights Elementary, and Sequoia Elementary, which have much higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better overall performance. However, the school's 4-star rating for its African American students suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement if the right strategies and support are put in place to address the underlying issues of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage.

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.
