Summary:

George Elementary stands out from the surrounding schools in several key ways. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students, over 90%, compared to the 80-94% range at nearby schools like Red Rock Elementary and Pioneer Elementary. Academically, George Elementary consistently underperforms the district and state averages, with only 22.62% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 35.1% for the district and 52.63% for the state. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.96% to 90%, significantly higher than the 72.62% to 91.98% range at surrounding schools.

Despite the higher spending per student at George Elementary, ranging from $12,512 to $20,297, the academic performance of the school has not improved. This raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for targeted interventions to address the specific needs of the student population. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratio at George Elementary, ranging from 10.9 to 12.3, could be an asset, providing an opportunity for more individualized attention and support for students. Addressing the challenges at George Elementary will require a comprehensive approach that considers the unique needs of the school's predominantly disadvantaged student population and implements evidence-based strategies to improve educational outcomes.

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.
