Harvest Valley Elementary

Summary:

Harvest Valley Elementary is a public elementary school located in Romoland, California, serving 775 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Romoland Elementary District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harvest Valley Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and a high concentration of students from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has risen significantly, from 13.1% in 2018-2019 to 36.3% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Academically, Harvest Valley consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 31.78% of Harvest Valley students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 37.25% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school's performance in CAST Science assessments is also below the district and state levels.

Interestingly, within the same district, Mesa View Elementary and Romoland Elementary perform significantly better than Harvest Valley in academic assessments, with higher proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science. Nearby schools in other districts, such as Callie Kirkpatrick Elementary and Freedom Crest Elementary (Menifee Union), also outperform Harvest Valley in academic measures. The high chronic absenteeism rates at Harvest Valley, coupled with the school's high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, suggest that socioeconomic factors may be significantly impacting student attendance and academic achievement.

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.
