Jurupa Vista Elementary

Summary:

Jurupa Vista Elementary is a public elementary school in Fontana, California, serving 412 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Colton Joint Unified School District, which is ranked 1219 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jurupa Vista Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently low test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, and achievement gaps among different student subgroups. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are around 10-15 percentage points lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school struggles particularly with English Language Learners and Special Education students, indicating the need to address these achievement gaps. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.97% to 79.85%, suggests a concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance.

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Canyon Crest Elementary and Sycamore Hills Elementary, Jurupa Vista Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures. However, the school's performance for some subgroups, such as Hispanic students and Low Socioeconomic Status students, is relatively better, though still below state and district averages. Addressing the underlying issues of chronic absenteeism and the school's concentration of students from low-income backgrounds could be crucial in improving student outcomes at Jurupa Vista 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.
