Kings Beach Elementary

Summary:

Kings Beach Elementary is a public elementary school serving 390 students in grades K-5 in Kings Beach, California, which is part of the Tahoe-Truckee Unified School District. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, currently ranking 1,854 out of 5,862 California elementary schools with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Kings Beach Elementary has seen varying performance across different student groups, with White students performing well but Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Low Socioeconomic Status students struggling, the school's overall academic performance is generally on par with the district but below the state average. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.7% in 2018-2019 to 30.7% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Truckee Elementary and Creekside Charter have higher statewide rankings and better academic performance across most grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Sierra Expeditionary Learning, a nearby charter school, significantly outperforms Kings Beach Elementary and the district as a whole. These findings suggest that Kings Beach Elementary could benefit from focusing on improving academic outcomes for its underperforming student populations and addressing its high chronic absenteeism rate.

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.
