Rose Avenue Elementary

Summary:

Rose Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school in Oxnard, California, serving 496 students in grades K-5. 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.

Rose Avenue Elementary faces significant challenges, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 34.5% in the 2022-2023 school year, notably higher than the Oxnard district average of 24.6% and the state average of 16.1%. The school also consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, with only 25.96% of students proficient or better in ELA/Literacy and 23.4% in Mathematics. Additionally, the school struggles to support certain student subgroups, particularly Special Education and Disabled students, who rank in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools.

Compared to nearby schools in the Oxnard district, Rose Avenue Elementary performs significantly worse, with the exception of Norman R. Brekke Elementary, which outperforms Rose Avenue in both academic achievement and student subgroup performance. The high chronic absenteeism rate at Rose Avenue appears to be closely linked to the school's poor academic performance, and the extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (93.75%) suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income community, which may contribute to the challenges it faces in supporting 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.
