Anaverde Hills

Summary:

Anaverde Hills is an elementary school in Palmdale, California that serves students from kindergarten to 8th grade, and is part of the Westside Union Elementary District. While the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, it currently ranks 3,813 out of 5,862 California elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Anaverde Hills faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, underperformance on standardized tests, and struggles with certain student subgroups. The school consistently underperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with only 40.12% of students proficient or better in ELA and 20.64% in Mathematics, compared to the district's 44.95% and 31.25%, and the state's 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively. Additionally, the school's African American and Special Education students rank in the bottom 10-20% of their respective statewide subgroups, while its Hispanic and English Language Learner students perform relatively better.

Interestingly, Esperanza Elementary and Cottonwood Elementary, which are also part of the Westside Union Elementary District, outperform Anaverde Hills in terms of test scores and overall performance. However, Anaverde Hills does outperform some of the lower-performing schools in the Palmdale Elementary District, such as Tumbleweed Elementary and Summerwind Elementary. Addressing the needs of Anaverde Hills' high-poverty student population, as well as implementing targeted interventions and strategies, will be crucial for improving the school's overall performance.

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.
