Jack London Elementary

Summary:

Jack London Elementary is a public elementary school located in Santa Rosa, California, serving grades K-6 with a student population of 275. Over the past several years, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California elementary schools, with a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jack London Elementary faces significant challenges, including a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 5.9% in 2017-2018 to 30.2% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the Piner-Olivet Union Elementary district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 34.72% of Jack London students were proficient or better in ELA End of Course, compared to 34.23% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics End of Course, only 23.61% of Jack London students were proficient or better, compared to 23.49% for the district and 35.54% for the state. The school also struggles to support its student subgroups, particularly Hispanic and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students, who rank in the bottom 20-30% of California elementary schools in these categories. White students at Jack London Elementary also perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Mark West Charter, San Miguel Elementary, and John B. Riebli Elementary (all part of the Mark West Union Elementary district), Jack London Elementary generally performs worse across key metrics like test scores and student subgroup performance. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Jack London Elementary, reaching 59.64% in 2022-2023, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's academic performance. Addressing these issues will require a multi-faceted approach that addresses both school-level and district-level factors.

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.
