Twin Oaks Elementary

Summary:

Twin Oaks Elementary is a public elementary school located in San Marcos, California, serving 675 students in grades K-5 and part of the San Marcos Unified school district.

While Twin Oaks Elementary has consistently ranked in the middle to upper-middle range of California elementary schools over the past 10 years, its academic performance lags behind many of its nearby counterparts. The school's English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates are generally below the district and state averages, with around 45-50% and 40-50% of students proficient or better, respectively. Additionally, the school's performance gaps are particularly pronounced for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Hispanic students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% and bottom 50% of California elementary schools, respectively. The school has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from around 7-8% in 2018-2019 to over 36% in 2021-2022, before dropping to 23.7% in 2022-2023.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, Twin Oaks generally performs in the middle to lower range. Schools like Knob Hill Elementary and Paloma Elementary significantly outperform Twin Oaks in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates. Additionally, two nearby charter schools, Dual Language Immersion North County and Baypoint Preparatory Academy - San Diego, also outperform Twin Oaks in both subject areas. The schools with the highest percentages of free/reduced-price lunch recipients, such as San Marcos Elementary and Hannalei Elementary, tend to have the lowest student performance, suggesting a correlation between socioeconomic status and 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.
