San Miguel Elementary

Summary:

San Miguel Elementary is a public elementary school in Sunnyvale, California, serving 385 students in grades K-5 and part of the Sunnyvale School District.

While San Miguel Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 3.6% in 2020-2021 to 17.2% in 2022-2023, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the Sunnyvale district and California state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 40.98% of San Miguel students were proficient or better in Smarter Balanced Assessments/English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 54.86% in the Sunnyvale district and 47.04% statewide. The school's performance on test scores for various student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities, is also generally lower than the state averages for those subgroups.

Interestingly, San Miguel Elementary's performance lags behind many of the nearby schools in the Sunnyvale and Santa Clara Unified School Districts, such as Cumberland Elementary and Fairwood Elementary, which consistently outperform San Miguel on test scores and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. The nearby schools with higher performance tend to have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement.

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.
