Patwin Elementary

Summary:

Patwin Elementary is a public elementary school in Davis, California, serving 394 students in grades K-6 and part of the highly-ranked Davis Joint Unified School District. This high-performing school consistently exceeds state averages in academic achievement, with 64.86% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 61.09% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively.

Patwin Elementary's performance is particularly strong for certain student subgroups, such as White and Special Education students, who rank among the top California elementary schools in these categories. However, the school struggles with lower performance for Hispanic and Low Socioeconomic Status students, an area that requires attention to ensure equitable educational opportunities. Additionally, Patwin has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.4% in 2017-2018 to 21.8% in 2022-2023, which the school should address.

Compared to nearby schools in the Davis Joint Unified School District, such as Pioneer Elementary, Marguerite Montgomery Elementary, and Fred T. Korematsu Elementary at Mace Ranch, Patwin Elementary outperforms them in both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics proficiency. When compared to schools in the neighboring Woodland Joint Unified School District, such as Spring Lake Elementary and Plainfield Elementary, Patwin Elementary significantly outperforms them in academic achievement and student subgroup 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.
