North Verdemont Elementary

Summary:

North Verdemont Elementary is a public elementary school serving 509 students in grades K-6 in San Bernardino, California, which is part of the San Bernardino City Unified School District. This school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, where it outperforms both the district and state averages.

North Verdemont Elementary's academic excellence is especially notable for its Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who perform exceptionally well compared to their peers in the district and state. In 2023-2024, the school's Hispanic students ranked 1386 out of 5102 California elementary schools in English Language Arts/Literacy, with a 4-star rating, and its low socioeconomic status students ranked 1445 out of 5374 in the same subject, also with a 4-star rating. This suggests that the school is effectively supporting its students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

However, North Verdemont Elementary is facing a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 9.1% in 2017-2018 to 23.5% in 2022-2023. This is an issue that the school and district will need to address, as chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic achievement. Nearby schools like Bob Holcomb Elementary and Muscoy Elementary lag behind North Verdemont Elementary and the district averages, highlighting the need for more consistent educational quality across the San Bernardino City Unified School District.

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.
