De Anza Elementary

Summary:

De Anza Elementary is a public elementary school in San Jacinto, California, serving 677 students in grades K-5 and part of the San Jacinto Unified School District.

While De Anza Elementary outperforms the district in academic proficiency, it still lags behind the state averages in most subject areas and grade levels. The school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.9% in 2018-2019 to 42.4% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than nearby schools like Park Hill Elementary (33.2%) and Edward Hyatt World Language Academy (10.7%). De Anza Elementary also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 83.01% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the nearby schools. However, the school has a relatively lower student-teacher ratio of 21.8, compared to 24.3 at Park Hill Elementary and 22.5 at Edward Hyatt World Language Academy.

By examining the practices and approaches of higher-performing nearby schools, such as Edward Hyatt World Language Academy, De Anza Elementary may be able to identify strategies to address the challenges of chronic absenteeism and low academic performance, particularly for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. With a focus on targeted interventions and support programs, the school can work to improve student outcomes and better serve the San Jacinto 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.
