George Sargeant Elementary

Summary:

George Sargeant Elementary is a public elementary school in Roseville, California, serving 419 students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Roseville City Elementary District. While the district is ranked 392 out of 1,568 in California, George Sargeant Elementary has faced some challenges, including higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower test scores compared to the district and state averages.

George Sargeant Elementary's chronic absenteeism rate has significantly increased from 6.9% in 2017-2018 to 27.2% in 2022-2023, notably higher than the district averages of 18.2% at Stoneridge Elementary and 17.1% at George Cirby Elementary. The school's proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics are also generally lower than the district and state averages, with 3rd grade English Language Arts/Literacy at 43.64% proficient or better, compared to 57.58% for the district and 42.8% for the state.

While George Sargeant Elementary performs relatively well for female students and Hispanic students, it struggles with lower rankings for white students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, at 55.61% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing to its overall academic performance. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and supporting students from diverse backgrounds could be crucial in improving the school's outcomes and providing a better educational experience for its students.

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.
