Lake Arrowhead Elementary

Summary:

Lake Arrowhead Elementary is a public elementary school serving 421 students in grades K-5 in the Rim of the World Unified School District in Lake Arrowhead, California. The school consistently outperforms its district in standardized test scores for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, though its performance is generally on par with or slightly below the state average.

While Lake Arrowhead Elementary's academic performance is relatively strong compared to its own district, the school faces some challenges. It has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 13.0% in 2018-2019 to 37.4% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the state average. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with its white, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status populations performing lower than other subgroups. Nearby schools like Charles Hoffman Elementary perform similarly to Lake Arrowhead Elementary, while Valley of Enchantment Elementary lags behind in academic performance and has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates.

Compared to schools outside the district, Krystal School of Science Math & Technology in the Hesperia Unified District outperforms Lake Arrowhead Elementary, while schools like Parkside Elementary and Del Rosa Elementary in the San Bernardino City Unified District perform significantly worse. Additionally, Lake Arrowhead Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, around 54% in recent years, and a higher student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, which may contribute to the challenges the school faces.

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.
