Kepler Neighborhood faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 42.1%, significantly lower test scores than the state and district averages, and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 78.86% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's student-teacher ratio of 21:1 is also relatively high compared to nearby schools. While male students and Hispanic students at Kepler Neighborhood generally perform better than their female and low socioeconomic status peers, the school's overall performance is lower than the nearby Fresno Unified schools, such as Jefferson Elementary, which had significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics.

Kepler Neighborhood's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past few years, from 1069 out of 1417 California elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 3257 out of 5862 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school is struggling to improve student outcomes. Addressing the challenges of high chronic absenteeism, low test scores, and the needs of its predominantly low-income student population will be crucial for Kepler Neighborhood to provide a high-quality education for its community.

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.
