Community Day

Summary:

Community Day is a small secondary public school in Sanger, California, serving grades 7-11 with just 30 students. As part of the Sanger Unified School District, which has a 3-star rating, Community Day faces significant challenges compared to its peers.

The school has alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, with over 54% of students missing an excessive amount of school in the 2022-2023 school year, far exceeding the district and state averages. Academically, Community Day students perform well below their counterparts, with only 5.26% proficient in English and Math, compared to nearly 50% and 38% for the Sanger Unified district. Additionally, the school serves a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 80-89% over the past three years.

However, Community Day does have a notable strength - a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6:1 to 7.2:1, suggesting a more personalized learning environment. Despite this, the school's significant challenges with attendance and academic performance indicate a need for additional resources, interventions, and support to help its students succeed.

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.
