Arroyo Verde Elementary

Summary:

Arroyo Verde Elementary is a public elementary school located in Highland, California, serving 530 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Redlands Unified School District, which is ranked 540 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Arroyo Verde Elementary consistently outperforms the Redlands Unified School District and the state of California in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Arroyo Verde's 5th-grade students scored 53.75% proficient or better in ELA, compared to 52.09% for the district and 47.37% for the state. The school's performance in CAST Science assessments is also strong, with 5th-grade students scoring 33.75% proficient or better, compared to 38.54% for the district and 32.68% for the state. However, Arroyo Verde's White students and students with disabilities lag behind, ranking in the bottom 30% and bottom 25% of California elementary schools, respectively.

Arroyo Verde outperforms the nearby Franklin Elementary and Lugonia Elementary schools in both ELA and Mathematics assessments. However, the nearby Judson & Brown Elementary and Highland Grove Elementary schools have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates than Arroyo Verde. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with its strong academic performance, suggests that Arroyo Verde is effectively supporting its economically disadvantaged population. The significant increase in chronic absenteeism at the school, however, is a concern that warrants further attention and intervention.

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.
