Del Norte Elementary

Summary:

Del Norte Elementary is a public elementary school in Ontario, California, serving 432 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Ontario-Montclair School District, which is ranked 793 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Del Norte Elementary faces significant challenges, with a notable increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 9.2% in 2017-2018 to 30.5% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages. The school also consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores, with only 27.1% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 22.94% in Mathematics in 2023-2024, compared to 41.16% and 31.72% for the district, respectively. Del Norte struggles to support certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools for English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

When comparing Del Norte Elementary to nearby schools within the same district, such as Mariposa Elementary, Corona Elementary, and Vineyard Elementary, it becomes clear that Del Norte is underperforming. However, many of these nearby schools also serve economically disadvantaged populations, suggesting that the challenges faced by Del Norte may be systemic within the Ontario-Montclair School District. Addressing the high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage at Del Norte Elementary could be crucial in improving student outcomes.

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.
