Juniper

Summary:

Juniper is an elementary school located in Redding, California, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 248 students. The school faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, lower academic performance compared to the district and state, and a student population with a high proportion of low-socioeconomic status students.

Juniper's chronic absenteeism rates have significantly increased, rising from 10.7% in 2017-2018 to 22.6% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the Redding Elementary District and state averages. The school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state across various grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics below the district and state averages in 2023-2024. Additionally, Juniper has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 79.44% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Juniper's performance, as measured by its statewide school ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, has declined over the years, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2012-2013 to a 2-star rating in recent years. The school's performance also varies significantly among different student subgroups, with disparities observed in the rankings for female and male students, as well as white students and low-socioeconomic status students. Compared to nearby schools, such as Manzanita Elementary, Turtle Bay, and Lassen View Elementary, Juniper's performance is generally lower, with these schools tending to have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and a more favorable student-teacher ratio.

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.

Impact of COVID-19 on Juniper

The coronavirus has had a profound impact on education in America. Learning shifted online overnight, attendance numbers dwindled, and enrollment decreased.
