Nightingale Charter

Summary:

Nightingale Charter is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Stockton, California, a city with a school district ranked 1289 out of 1568 districts in the state and with an overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

Nightingale Charter has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period. The school struggles with very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.3% to 46.8% in recent years, significantly higher than the Stockton Unified district and state averages. Academically, Nightingale Charter students perform poorly on standardized tests, with only 26.07% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 17.14% in mathematics, compared to 28.71% and 17.96% for Stockton Unified, and 47.04% and 35.54% statewide.

The low performance at Nightingale Charter is part of a broader pattern in the Stockton Unified district, where nearby schools like McKinley Elementary, Montezuma Elementary, and others also struggle with high chronic absenteeism and poor academic outcomes, serving predominantly low-income, minority student populations. The one exception is French Camp Elementary, which is in the Manteca Unified district and performs slightly better, but is still in the bottom 30% of California elementary schools.

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.
