Redding Elementary

Summary:

Redding Elementary is a public elementary school in San Francisco, California, serving 230 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 and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Redding Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (45% in 2022-2023, compared to the district average of 25.9%), consistently lower test scores than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, and significant performance gaps among different student subgroups. For example, in 2021-2022, Redding Elementary's Asian students ranked in the bottom 3% of California elementary schools, while its Hispanic students ranked in the top 26%. The school also has a high percentage of students (62.17%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 20.9 students per teacher.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Lau (Gordon J.) Elementary, Yick Wo Elementary, and The New School of San Francisco, Redding Elementary's performance is generally lower, with higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and a lower percentage of students from low-income families. Additionally, Redding Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting that the school's performance is not keeping pace with the state's overall improvement in academic achievement.

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.
