Olive Elementary faces significant challenges compared to its nearby peers and the district/state averages. The school consistently performs below the district and state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 41.82% of Olive Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 57.53% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate at Olive Elementary was 27.54%, while the district and state averages were 45.47% and 35.54%, respectively. Olive Elementary's performance in Science (CAST) is also below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 15.1% in 2017-2018 to 44.9% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district and state averages.

Olive Elementary's challenges extend beyond academic performance and attendance. The school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 72.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Compared to nearby schools, such as Serrano Elementary, Crescent Elementary, Nohl Canyon Elementary, and Fletcher Mandarin Language & GATE Academy, Olive Elementary's academic performance and other key metrics lag behind. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions, increased resources, and community engagement may be crucial for improving the school's overall 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.
