Taylor (Edward R.) Elementary

Summary:

Taylor (Edward R.) Elementary is a public elementary school in San Francisco, California, serving 589 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the San Francisco Unified School District, which is ranked 651 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Despite being located in San Francisco, Taylor (Edward R.) Elementary has consistently performed below the district and state averages in academic assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 45.04% in English Language Arts and 42.16% in Math, compared to the district's 53.73% and 45.59%, and the state's 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively. The school also struggles with significant achievement gaps across different student subgroups, with Asian and Hispanic students, as well as English Language Learners and students with disabilities, performing particularly poorly. However, the school's low-income students perform relatively better, ranking in the top 25% of California elementary schools for this subgroup.

In addition to academic challenges, Taylor (Edward R.) Elementary has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching 36.9% in the 2021-2022 school year, significantly higher than the district and state averages. While the rate improved to 22.9% in 2022-2023, it remains a significant concern. The school's student-teacher ratio, ranging from 21.8 to 23.6 over the past three years, may also be a contributing factor to its academic struggles. Compared to nearby schools, Taylor (Edward R.) Elementary performs better than some, such as El Dorado Elementary and Carver (George Washington) Elementary, but lags behind others, like Serra (Junipero) Elementary and Visitacion Valley Elementary.

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.
