Bangor Union Elementary

Summary:

Bangor Union Elementary is a small public elementary school located in Bangor, California, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 69 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently struggled, ranking in the bottom half of California elementary schools over the past decade.

Bangor Union Elementary faces several key challenges. It has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.4% to 41.8% over the past several years, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Oakdale Heights Elementary, Wyandotte Academy, and Loma Rica Elementary. The school's test scores are also consistently below state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with only 25% of 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 45.95%. Additionally, Bangor Union Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.33% to 76.64%, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools analyzed.

Compared to the nearby schools, Bangor Union Elementary's performance is consistently lower, and its ranking has actually dropped over the past decade, suggesting the school has struggled to address its challenges and improve student outcomes. The high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism may be significant factors contributing to the school's low academic performance. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that addresses both academic and non-academic factors impacting student success at Bangor Union Elementary.

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.
