McKinna Elementary

Summary:

McKinna Elementary is a public elementary school in Oxnard, California, serving 600 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Oxnard School District, which is ranked 1236 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

McKinna Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 7.4% in 2018-2019 to 32.7% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the rates at Juan Lagunas Soria Elementary (23.1%) and Kamala Elementary (26.1%). Additionally, McKinna consistently underperforms the Oxnard district and the state of California in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, with only 18.47% and 17.39% of students, respectively, meeting or exceeding proficiency in 2023-2024.

The school also faces socioeconomic challenges, with an exceptionally high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients at 94.72% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the nearby schools. This suggests that McKinna serves a predominantly low-income community, which may contribute to the challenges it faces. While the school is struggling, the data indicates that there is room for improvement, as nearby schools serving similar demographics have achieved better outcomes. By examining the practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools, McKinna Elementary may be able to identify and implement effective approaches to support student learning and engagement.

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.
