Gubser Elementary School has shown a mixed academic performance compared to the district and state averages. While the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in ELA and Math have been lower than the district and state, its 4th and 5th-grade proficiency rates have been higher in recent years. The school's performance across different student subgroups has also been varied, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners performing better than their peers.

Gubser Elementary School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 88.03% in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests a higher concentration of students from low-income families, which may contribute to the school's mixed academic performance. The school's spending per student was $16,482 in the 2021-2022 school year, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's student-teacher ratio has been higher than nearby schools, ranging from 20.6 to 22.8 over the past three years.

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.
