Lichen K-8

Summary:

Lichen K-8 is a public elementary school located in Citrus Heights, California, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 492 students. The school is part of the San Juan Unified School District, which is ranked 923 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lichen K-8 consistently performs below the San Juan Unified District and California state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics across all grade levels. For the 2023-2024 school year, Lichen K-8's proficiency rates range from 19.51% to 36.36% in ELA and 15.09% to 45.65% in Math, compared to the district's 34.77% to 40.35% in ELA and 25.85% to 34.72% in Math, and the state's 42.8% to 47.37% in ELA and 31.57% to 45.64% in Math. The school's performance in CAST Science assessments is also significantly lower than the district and state. Additionally, Lichen K-8 has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12% in 2017-2018 to 33.8% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the district and state averages.

Lichen K-8's performance varies significantly among different student subgroups, with male students and Hispanic students generally performing better than female students and White students, respectively. However, the school's English Language Learner and Special Education students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 25% and top 15% of California elementary schools, respectively, in recent years. When compared to nearby schools, such as George Cirby Elementary, Olive Grove Elementary, and Creekview Ranch, which consistently outperform the state and district averages in academic assessments, Lichen K-8 faces significant challenges in academic achievement, attendance, and socioeconomic factors that differentiate it from the surrounding schools.

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.

Have been a parent at this school for 8 years. My son is in 5th grade and this is his final year. School appeals to the lowest common denominator and does nothing about bad behavior. Teachers have lost motivation and don't seem to care anymore. Constantly making teachers change grades year after year. Close Quote

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.
