Kellogg Polytechnic Elementary

Summary:

Kellogg Polytechnic Elementary is a public elementary school in Pomona, California, serving 430 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Pomona Unified School District, which is ranked 1056 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kellogg Polytechnic Elementary faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to nearby schools like Armstrong Elementary, Decker Elementary, and Ranch Hills Elementary. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the district and state averages. Additionally, Kellogg Polytechnic has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.6% in 2018-2019 to 47.3% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district's rate of 35.69%.

Another key factor is the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 90.25% to 94.57% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools. While the school's performance varies among different student subgroups, with English Language Learners and low socioeconomic status students performing relatively better, the overall academic achievement at Kellogg Polytechnic Elementary remains a concern that will need to be addressed to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience.

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.
