John F. Cruikshank Junior

Summary:

John F. Cruikshank Junior is an alternative public school located in Stockton, California, serving grades KG-12 with a total enrollment of 43 students. The school is part of the San Joaquin County Office of Education district and serves a predominantly Hispanic and African American student population.

John F. Cruikshank Junior stands out from nearby schools like Independence, California Connections Academy Northern California, and ABLE Charter with its significantly lower graduation rates, ranging from 25.0% to 41.3% over the past 5 years, and much higher dropout rates, ranging from 32.3% to 50.0%. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.0% to 44.9%, and test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are significantly lower than the San Joaquin County Office of Education and California state averages.

The high percentage of Hispanic (51.16%) and African American (27.91%) students at John F. Cruikshank Junior, along with the school's very high percentage of students (over 90%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggest that the school serves a more diverse and economically disadvantaged population. Additionally, the school's proximity to other alternative schools in the area, such as San Joaquin County Community and San Joaquin County Special Education, may contribute to the challenges faced by the school in providing a high-quality education to its students.

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.
