Ivey Ranch Elementary

Summary:

Ivey Ranch Elementary is a public elementary school in Oceanside, California, serving 725 students in grades K-5. The school consistently outperforms the Oceanside Unified School District and the state of California in academic achievement, maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ivey Ranch Elementary's academic performance is particularly strong, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's Hispanic and White student subgroups consistently outperform their counterparts, and the military-connected student population is among the top 15 in California. However, the school's performance for multi-racial and special education students is relatively weaker. Compared to nearby schools, Ivey Ranch outperforms Nichols Elementary, Pablo Tac School of the Arts, and other Oceanside Unified schools, but some Vista Unified schools, such as Alamosa Park Elementary and T.H.E Leadership Academy, also demonstrate strong academic performance.

One area of concern at Ivey Ranch Elementary is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 8.1% in 2017-2018 to 35.9% in 2021-2022, before declining to 21.8% in 2022-2023. This trend is in contrast to the nearby Nichols Elementary and Pablo Tac School of the Arts, which have lower chronic absenteeism rates. Understanding and addressing the factors behind this increase in absenteeism will be crucial for the school and district to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
