Randels Elementary faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of African American students (60.31%) and low-income families (91.75% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch). The school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 15.0% in 2018-2019 to 37.0% in 2022-2023. Academically, Randels' proficiency rates on the M-Step assessment are generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 41.5% of 3rd-graders proficient in English Language Arts in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 39.6% and the district average of 39.8%. When compared to nearby schools, such as Dye Elementary in the same district and Dieck Elementary and Linden Charter Academy in different districts, Randels' academic performance is significantly lower, despite serving student populations with similar socioeconomic backgrounds.

To improve Randels' performance, the school and district should consider implementing targeted interventions and support programs, developing a comprehensive attendance strategy, conducting a thorough analysis of instructional practices, and exploring community partnerships and additional resources. By addressing these key areas, Randels Elementary School can work towards closing the achievement gap and providing a high-quality education for all 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.
