Pond Elementary

Summary:

Pond Elementary is a public elementary school located in Wasco, California, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 184 students. The school is part of the Pond Union Elementary District, which is ranked 1364 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Pond Elementary faces significant challenges, including a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, which reached 18.3% in 2022-2023, well above the state average of 14.8%. The school's test scores are consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 23.81% of Pond Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 47.04%. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 90.22% to 95.12% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, Pond Elementary has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 19.7 to 20.5 over the past few years, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Del Vista Math and Science Academy, Browning Road STEAM Academy, and Terrace Elementary, generally perform better than Pond Elementary on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. Pond Elementary's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male students and Hispanic students. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from a high of 2310 out of 5530 California elementary schools in 2012-2013 to a low of 4750 out of 5862 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school is struggling to keep up with the academic performance of other schools in the state.

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.
