Dr. Ralph H. Baker 21st Century Learning Center

Summary:

Dr. Ralph H. Baker 21st Century Learning Center is an elementary school in Victorville, California, serving 672 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Victor Elementary School District, which is ranked 1210 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 25.8% to 46.7% over the past few years, well above the state average. Academically, Dr. Ralph H. Baker's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 23.58% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 29.59% for the Victor Elementary district and 47.04% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students.

When compared to other nearby schools within the same district, such as Challenger School of Sports and Fitness and West Palms Conservatory, Dr. Ralph H. Baker generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. The school's high percentage of students (over 85%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, may be contributing to the challenges it faces. Significant improvements are needed in areas such as academic achievement, attendance, and support for disadvantaged student populations to provide a high-quality education for all students.

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.
