Dunlap Elementary

Summary:

Dunlap Elementary is a public elementary school in Yucaipa, California, serving 338 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District, which is ranked 956 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dunlap Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 11.5% in 2018-2019 to 40.6% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school also consistently underperforms the district and state in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, with only 26.92% of Dunlap students proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to 40.42% for the district and 47.04% for the state. Additionally, Dunlap's student subgroups, such as White students and Male students, perform significantly worse than their counterparts in the state, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of California elementary schools. However, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively better, ranking in the top 30% of California elementary schools for ELL students.

Dunlap Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby Calimesa Elementary, Valley Elementary, and Chapman Heights Elementary, all of which are part of the same district. However, it outperforms the nearby Green Valley Independent Study school, also within the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch recipients at Dunlap Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance, but the relatively better performance of its ELL students suggests that the school may be providing effective support and interventions for this subgroup.

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.
