Hubert H. Bancroft Elementary

Summary:

Hubert H. Bancroft Elementary is a public elementary school in Sacramento, California, serving 399 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Sacramento City Unified School District, which is ranked 1000 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hubert H. Bancroft Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 14.7% in 2017-2018 to 32.0% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school also consistently underperforms the district and state in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 33.17% of students proficient or better in ELA and 30.33% in Math, compared to 38.95% and 29.38% for the district, respectively. The school struggles to support its diverse student population, with lower rankings for Hispanic, White, and Low Socioeconomic Status students compared to their peers statewide. However, the school's performance for students with disabilities is more promising, ranking in the top 30% of California elementary schools in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as O.W. Erlewine Elementary and Sequoia Elementary, Hubert H. Bancroft Elementary generally underperforms in terms of test scores, chronic absenteeism, and student group performance. The school's declining statewide ranking, from the top 50% of California elementary schools in 2014-2015 to the bottom 40% in 2023-2024, suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and address potential equity concerns within 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.
