Summary:

Greenville Fundamental Elementary is a public elementary school in Santa Ana, California, serving 907 students in grades K-5. As part of the Santa Ana Unified School District, Greenville Fundamental consistently outperforms the district and state in academic performance, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Greenville Fundamental's academic excellence is particularly evident in its performance with Hispanic and English Language Learner students, ranking in the top 30% and 20% of California elementary schools, respectively, in these subgroups. However, the school faces challenges in supporting its Special Education and Military Connected students, ranking in the bottom 30% and 40% of California elementary schools in these areas. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 1.5% in 2017-2018 to 16.9% in 2022-2023, and a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch increasing from 39.17% in 2021-2022 to 66.26% in 2022-2023.

When compared to nearby schools in the Santa Ana Unified School District, such as Carl Harvey Elementary and McFadden Institute of Technology, Greenville Fundamental outperforms in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

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.
