Lone Tree Elementary consistently outperforms the Wheatland District and the state of California in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, 58.59% of Lone Tree Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to 46.84% for the Wheatland District and 47.04% for California.

The school's performance in Science (CAST) is also strong, with 41.03% of students proficient or better, compared to 30.87% for the Wheatland District and 30.7% for California. Lone Tree Elementary has a strong performance across different student subgroups, particularly in the "Low Socio-Economic Status" and "Military Connected Students" categories.

Lone Tree Elementary outperforms the nearby Wheatland Elementary and Wheatland Charter Academy in academic performance, particularly in ELA/Literacy and Mathematics. However, Wheatland Charter Academy, which is located just 0.03 miles away, also performs well. The nearby schools in the Marysville Joint Unified District, such as Edgewater Elementary and Ella Elementary, generally perform lower than Lone Tree Elementary across all subject areas. The school's proximity to Beale AFB and its ability to cater to the needs of military-connected students are notable strengths, but the recent increase in chronic absenteeism is a concern that the school and district should continue to address.

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.
