Green Valley Independent Study

Summary:

Green Valley Independent Study is a small elementary school in Yucaipa, California that serves grades K-8 and is part of the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District. With just 82 students and a high student-teacher ratio, the school has consistently underperformed its peers academically and faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and a large population of economically disadvantaged students.

Academically, Green Valley Independent Study lags behind the district and the state in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from just 11.25% to 21.43% in math and 13.92% to 21.43% in English Language Arts, compared to the district's 29.83% to 42.76% in math and 37.11% to 41.95% in ELA, and the state's 31.57% to 47.04% in math and 42.8% to 47.19% in ELA. The school's performance has also declined over the years, with proficiency rates dropping from 2021-2022 to 2022-2023.

Compounding the academic challenges, Green Valley Independent Study has alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 38% to 74% over the past several years. This is much higher than the rates at nearby schools like Chapman Heights Elementary (30.7%), Competitive Edge Charter Academy (11.2%), and Wildwood Elementary (29.6%). Additionally, a large majority of Green Valley Independent Study's students, around 68% in 2022-2023, qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the rates at nearby schools.

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.
