Summary:

Sea View Elementary is a public elementary school in Salton City, California, serving 652 students in grades K-6 as part of the Coachella Valley Unified School District. However, the school faces significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently low academic performance, and a predominantly underprivileged student population.

Sea View Elementary has experienced a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 21.8% in 2017-2018 to 52.0% in 2022-2023, well above the state and district averages. Academically, the school consistently underperforms, with only 19.6% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 12.85% proficient in Mathematics, compared to 27.88% and 16.65% for the district, respectively. Additionally, 92.79% of Sea View's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Comparing Sea View Elementary to nearby schools, it becomes clear that the school is struggling. Both Mecca Elementary and Saul Martinez Elementary, located within 20 miles of Sea View, have higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism, despite serving similar student populations. The consistent decline in Sea View's statewide ranking, from 5469 out of 5530 California elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 5482 out of 5862 in 2023-2024, further highlights the need for significant improvements to address the school's systemic challenges.

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.
