Patriot Elementary

Summary:

Patriot Elementary is a public elementary school in Bakersfield, California, serving 906 students in grades K-6 as part of the Rosedale Union Elementary School District. While the school has some areas of strength, it faces challenges in academic performance and student engagement compared to nearby schools.

Academically, Patriot Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 40.71% to 44.2% at Patriot Elementary, compared to 45.28% to 52.44% for the Rosedale Union Elementary district and 42.8% to 47.04% for the state of California. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.6% in 2017-2018 to 16.2% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district average. Additionally, Patriot Elementary has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 34.22% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 27.84% to 33.6% at nearby schools.

However, Patriot Elementary's performance for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students with disabilities, is relatively stronger compared to the overall school performance. This suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from these successes and implement strategies to improve the overall school outcomes. Addressing the factors behind the high chronic absenteeism and providing targeted support for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds could be important focus areas for improvement at Patriot Elementary.

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.
