Del Rey Elementary

Summary:

Del Rey Elementary is a public elementary school in Victorville, California, serving 656 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Victor Elementary District, which is ranked 1210 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Del Rey Elementary faces significant challenges, particularly in terms of chronic absenteeism and academic performance. The school has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 24.8% in 2017-2018 to 45.3% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than nearby schools like Village Elementary (42.4%) and Challenger School of Sports and Fitness (33.9%). Academically, Del Rey Elementary consistently performs below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science assessments, with only 16.36% of students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 29.59% for the district and 47.04% for the state.

The school's struggles appear to be heavily influenced by socioeconomic factors, as Del Rey Elementary has an exceptionally high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, with over 96% of its students qualifying for this program. This is significantly higher than the surrounding schools, and the low performance of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds suggests that these factors play a significant role in shaping educational outcomes at the school. While nearby schools like Village Elementary and Challenger School of Sports and Fitness also face challenges, they generally outperform Del Rey Elementary, indicating that there may be opportunities for the school to learn from their practices and strategies.

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.
