Shasta Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and a high percentage of students from low-income families. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has risen significantly from 8.5% in 2018-2019 to 29.6% in 2021-2022, notably higher than the state average of 9.8%. Academically, Shasta Elementary's test scores are generally below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 41.18% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 23.53% in mathematics, compared to 47.04% and 35.54% statewide, respectively. Additionally, 62.07% of Shasta Elementary's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

Compared to nearby schools, Shasta Elementary's performance is generally lower. For example, Grant Elementary, located about 3.5 miles away, stands out as a high-performing school with significantly higher test scores and a lower chronic absenteeism rate. Other nearby schools, such as Bonny View Elementary, Cypress Elementary, and Juniper, also have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and lower percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients compared to Shasta Elementary. These findings suggest that Shasta Elementary may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address its areas of concern and improve student outcomes.

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.
