Edwin Markham Elementary

Summary:

Edwin Markham Elementary is a public elementary school in Vacaville, California, serving 882 students in grades K-6. The school faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently lower academic performance compared to the district and state, and struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups.

Edwin Markham Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 9.4% in 2018-2019 to 35.9% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the Vacaville Unified district and California state averages. Academically, the school consistently performs below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 24% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 17.22% in Mathematics, compared to 43.21% and 27.76% for the district, respectively. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who consistently rank in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Vacaville Unified district, such as Sierra Vista K-8, Jean Callison Elementary, and Alamo Elementary, generally outperform Edwin Markham Elementary in academic achievement, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The local charter school, Kairos Public, also outperforms Edwin Markham across all subject areas and grade levels.

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.
