Ridgeview Elementary

Summary:

Ridgeview Elementary is a public elementary school located in Yucaipa, California, serving grades K-5 with a student population of 548. It is part of the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District, which is ranked 956 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ridgeview Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average test scores, and significant performance gaps among its student subgroups. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were 33.84% and 31.94%, respectively, compared to the district's 40.42% and 29.83%, and the state's 47.04% and 35.54%. Additionally, the school's Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students struggle, ranking in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools. When compared to other schools in the same district, Ridgeview Elementary generally performs worse than Calimesa Elementary, Wildwood Elementary, and Chapman Heights Elementary, which have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates.

The data suggests that Ridgeview Elementary could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the needs of its underperforming student subgroups, as well as strategies to improve attendance and overall academic achievement. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch, as well as the varying performance across student subgroups, suggest that socioeconomic factors and equity issues may be contributing to the school's lower academic outcomes. Addressing these issues and implementing effective strategies to support the school's diverse population could be crucial for improving its overall academic outcomes and competitiveness within the state.

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.
