George Cirby Elementary

Summary:

George Cirby Elementary is a public elementary school in Roseville, California, serving 360 students in grades K-5 as part of the Roseville City Elementary District.

While the district is ranked 392 out of 1,568 in California, George Cirby Elementary has consistently performed in the bottom half of the state's elementary schools, with below-average scores on standardized tests. In 2023-2024, only 35.71% of George Cirby students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 56.76% for the district and 47.04% for California. In math, just 37.36% of George Cirby students were proficient, versus 49.97% for the district and 35.54% for the state. The school also faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 5.3% in 2017-2018 to 27.2% in 2021-2022, well above district and state averages.

Interestingly, George Cirby Elementary performs better for its Hispanic and English Language Learner student subgroups compared to its White and low-income students. However, the school still lags behind nearby Ferris Spanger Elementary and William Kaseberg Elementary, which have higher academic achievement and lower chronic absenteeism. While George Cirby outperforms some nearby schools in the San Juan Unified District, the overall data suggests the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes at the school.

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.
