Golden View Elementary

Summary:

Golden View Elementary is a public elementary school located in Huntington Beach, California, serving around 350 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Ocean View School District, which is ranked 405 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

While Golden View Elementary has a strong focus on science, with 47.5% of students proficient or better on the CAST assessment, its overall academic performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 35.9% of Golden View students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 57.5% for the Ocean View district and 47.04% for California. Similarly, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate was 35.26%, while the district and state rates were 51.5% and 35.54%, respectively.

Notably, Circle View Elementary and Village View Elementary, two other schools in the Ocean View district, have significantly higher academic performance than Golden View. Additionally, Golden View has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.9% in 2017-2018 to 30.6% in 2021-2022, which may be contributing to its lower academic outcomes. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 64.24%, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and student achievement.

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.
