Jackson Heights Elementary

Summary:

Jackson Heights Elementary is a public elementary school in Red Bluff, California, serving 453 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Red Bluff Union Elementary District, which is ranked 1382 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jackson Heights Elementary faces several challenges, including higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to nearby schools, lower academic performance in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has risen significantly, from 18.0% in 2018-2019 to 33.3% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the rates at William M. Metteer Elementary (22.9%) and Bidwell Elementary (29.9%). Academically, Jackson Heights Elementary's proficiency rates in core subjects are lower than the district and state averages, with the school's 2023-2024 end-of-course proficiency rates at 28.19% in English Language Arts, 27.66% in Mathematics, and 18.33% in Science.

While Jackson Heights Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby William M. Metteer Elementary and Bidwell Elementary, it is more comparable to schools outside the Red Bluff Union Elementary District, such as Lassen View Elementary and Reeds Creek Elementary. This suggests that the challenges faced by Jackson Heights Elementary may be shared by other schools in the region, and addressing the underlying causes of high absenteeism and low academic performance could be crucial for improving the school's overall outcomes.

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.
