Skyridge Elementary consistently outperforms the district and the state of California in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, 50.29% of Skyridge students were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to 33.82% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, 44% of Skyridge students were proficient or better, compared to 24.67% for the district and 35.54% for the state. However, the school's Hispanic students and low socioeconomic status students perform significantly lower than the state averages, indicating achievement gaps that need to be addressed. Additionally, Skyridge Elementary has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.3% in 2018-2019 to 32.6% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Skyridge Elementary generally outperforms Auburn Elementary and Alta Vista Community Charter in academic performance, but lags behind the higher-performing schools in the Loomis Union Elementary and Newcastle Elementary districts, such as Penryn Elementary and Placer Elementary. Despite these challenges, Skyridge Elementary's overall academic performance is still relatively strong compared to the district and state averages, and with the right strategies and interventions, the school has the potential to improve further and narrow the gaps with the higher-performing nearby schools.

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.
