Canyon Lake Elementary - 04

Summary:

Canyon Lake Elementary - 04 is an elementary school located in Rapid City, South Dakota, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 346 students. It is part of the Rapid City Area School District 51-4, which is ranked 99 out of 126 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Canyon Lake Elementary - 04 faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently underperforming the state and district averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency, and lower rankings for specific student groups compared to other elementary schools in the state. The school's high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 39.02% to 100% of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to these challenges. When compared to nearby schools in the Rapid City Area School District, such as Pinedale Elementary - 11 and Corral Drive Elementary - 21, which are both ranked significantly higher (4 stars) and have much stronger academic performance, Canyon Lake Elementary - 04 generally underperforms.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $9,625 to $10,920 over the past few years, and a favorable student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.4 to 13.8, these factors do not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the issues of high chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions could be crucial for improving the school's overall performance and outcomes for 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.
