Cedarcreek Elementary

Summary:

Cedarcreek Elementary is a public elementary school located in Canyon Country, California, serving grades K-6 with a student population of 375. It is part of the Saugus Union School District, which is ranked 221 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cedarcreek Elementary has shown mixed performance on standardized tests compared to the Saugus Union district and the state of California. While the school performs better than the state average in some grade levels and subjects, it lags behind the district average in many areas. For example, the school's 4th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate was 32%, compared to 65.32% for the Saugus Union district and 43.9% for the state. However, the school's 6th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 60.32%, higher than both the district (67.48%) and the state (45.82%). Cedarcreek's performance for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, has been stronger than the overall school performance.

Cedarcreek Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of other nearby schools in the Saugus Union district, such as Plum Canyon Elementary and Rosedell Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates in both ELA and mathematics. However, the school's higher percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by the higher rate of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, may contribute to its higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to nearby schools. By addressing these underlying socioeconomic factors and focusing on areas where the school lags behind, Cedarcreek Elementary has the potential to improve its overall academic performance and better serve its diverse student population.

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.
