Warm Springs Elementary

Summary:

Warm Springs Elementary is a public elementary school in San Bernardino, California, serving 494 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the San Bernardino City Unified School District, which is ranked 1221 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

Warm Springs Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and struggles in supporting various student subgroups. The school's performance in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics is consistently below the district and state averages, with only 19.71% of students proficient or better in ELA and 14.96% in Mathematics. The school also struggles to support Special Education, Homeless, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who rank in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools. Interestingly, nearby schools in the San Bernardino City Unified District, such as Barton Elementary, Roger Anton Elementary, and Monterey Elementary, also face similar challenges, while schools like Emmerton Elementary and Fairfax Elementary perform slightly better.

The high rates of poverty and economic disadvantage among Warm Springs students, as evidenced by the over 90% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a significant factor contributing to the school's low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism. However, the school's relative success in supporting English Language Learners and the potential lessons from higher-performing nearby schools provide opportunities for improvement and growth. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to support the needs of the Warm Springs Elementary community.

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.
