Springbrook Elementary

Summary:

Springbrook Elementary is a public elementary school in Irvine, California, serving 506 students in grades K-6. It is part of the highly-rated Irvine Unified School District, which is ranked 108 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Springbrook Elementary consistently ranks in the top 15-20% of California elementary schools, with strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. The school's diverse student population, which includes significant percentages of Asian, Hispanic, and White students, as well as a high proportion of English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, all perform well above state averages. This suggests that Springbrook is effectively supporting the needs of its diverse learners and providing a quality education.

While Springbrook's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly below the top-performing schools in the Irvine Unified district, such as Stone Creek Elementary, Brywood Elementary, and Eastshore Elementary, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8% in 2017-2018 to 24% in 2022-2023. This trend is in contrast to the generally high attendance and engagement levels observed at other nearby Irvine Unified schools, which range from 8-15% chronic absenteeism, and warrants further investigation and intervention by the school.

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.
