While W.J.C. Trapp Elementary outperforms most nearby schools in the Rialto Unified School District, including Lida M. Henry Elementary, A.H. Morgan Elementary, and Dr. Edward Fitzgerald Elementary, its performance is still below that of some other nearby schools, such as Elizabeth T. Hughbanks Elementary and Vermont Elementary (in the San Bernardino City Unified School District), which have higher academic achievement in certain grade levels and subject areas. The high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch at W.J.C. Trapp Elementary, as well as the nearby schools in the Rialto Unified School District, suggests that these schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the overall academic performance of the schools.

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.
