While Barry Elementary has some areas of concern, such as a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 8.4% in 2018-2019 to 25.4% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than nearby schools like Bridge Street Elementary at 28.6% and Riverbend Elementary at 19.6%. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, with only 36.15% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 38.45% for the district and 47.04% for the state, and just 28.32% proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 24.51% for the district and 35.54% for the state.

Another area of interest is the disparities in student group performance at Barry Elementary. While English Language Learner students perform very well, ranking in the top 5% of California elementary schools, other groups like Asian, Hispanic, and White students perform much lower, ranking in the bottom 20-30% of the state. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 70.85% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than nearby schools like Lincoln Elementary at 74.63%. Addressing these disparities and socioeconomic factors could be crucial in improving the educational experience and outcomes for the students at Barry Elementary.

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.
