Clay Elementary

Summary:

Clay Elementary is a public elementary school located in San Diego, California, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 294 students. It is part of the San Diego Unified School District, which is ranked 604 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clay Elementary faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 17.2% in 2018-2019 to 51.4% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the nearby Rolando Park Elementary (25.5%) and Hardy Elementary (26.4%), as well as the district and state averages. Academically, Clay Elementary's performance, as measured by the Smarter Balanced Assessments, is significantly lower than the San Diego Unified School District and the state of California across all grade levels and subject areas.

The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Clay Elementary, with 76.87% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, appears to be a significant factor contributing to the school's lower academic performance. This aligns with research showing that socioeconomic status is a strong predictor of academic achievement, and schools with higher concentrations of low-income students often face additional challenges. Interestingly, the nearby Rolando Park Elementary and Hardy Elementary generally perform better academically and have lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to Clay Elementary, while Hearst Elementary, located slightly further away, is a high-performing school with significantly higher academic achievement and lower chronic absenteeism.

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.
