International Community Elementary

Summary:

International Community Elementary is a public elementary school in Oakland, California, serving 278 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Oakland Unified School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

International Community Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and equity issues for its student subgroups. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has increased from 7.6% in 2020-2021 to 59.3% in 2022-2023, much higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school consistently performs below the Oakland Unified and California state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments, with only 18.32% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2023-2024. The school also struggles to support its student subgroups, particularly English Language Learners and low-income students.

While International Community Elementary faces significant challenges, some nearby schools, such as Ascend and Manzanita SEED Elementary, perform significantly better, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. This suggests that with the right strategies and resources, the performance of International Community Elementary could potentially be improved, particularly by addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing more targeted and equitable interventions to support the school's most vulnerable 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.
