While Howard Cattle Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 4.4% in 2017-2018 to 25.0% in 2022-2023, the school's academic performance is also a concern. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the district and state averages, with particularly low performance in 4th and 5th grades. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students, students with disabilities, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds all performing below the state average.

When compared to nearby schools in the Chino Valley Unified School District, Howard Cattle Elementary generally performs worse across various metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and subgroup performance.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Howard Cattle Elementary, reaching 65.75% in the 2022-2023 school year, suggests that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance.

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.
