The school is part of the San Lorenzo Unified School District, which is ranked 1186 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Corvallis Elementary's performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments, is generally lower than the San Lorenzo Unified School District and the state of California averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy at the end-of-course level was 28.83% for Corvallis Elementary, compared to 30.34% for the district and 47.04% for the state. Similarly, in Mathematics, the end-of-course proficiency rate for Corvallis Elementary was 31.06%, compared to 21.84% for the district and 35.54% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male students and Hispanic students, who rank in the bottom 20-25% of California elementary schools in these categories. Additionally, Corvallis Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 10.4% in the 2017-2018 school year to 54.4% in the 2021-2022 school year, which is much higher than the district and state averages.

The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Corvallis Elementary, with 75.41% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to the school's overall academic challenges.

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.
