Elliott Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 794th in 2016-2017 to 1,803rd in 2023-2024, and its rating has dropped from 4 to 3 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars in the current school year. The school performs well for English Language Learners, ranking in the top 255 out of 3,311 California elementary schools in 2021-2022, but struggles with Asian and White student performance, ranking in the bottom half of California schools. Elliott Elementary also faces challenges with a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 5.1% in 2017-2018 to 20.8% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools in the same district, Elliott Elementary generally performs in the middle to lower range, with Leal (Frank C.) Elementary and Wittmann (Helen) Elementary significantly outperforming it across various metrics. The school's demographics, with a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, may be a contributing factor to these performance gaps. Addressing these areas could be crucial for improving Elliott Elementary's overall academic 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.
