Alila

Summary:

Alila is an elementary school located in Earlimart, CA, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 405 students. It is part of the Earlimart Elementary District, which is ranked 1472 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alila faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (38.1% in 2022-2023 compared to 33.1% at Earlimart Elementary), consistently lower test scores than the state and district averages (only 27.69% of Alila students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy in 2023-2024, compared to 26.85% at Earlimart Elementary and 47.04% statewide), and a very high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (90.86% qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023). Alila's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as male students and English Language Learners, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of California elementary schools.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Fremont Elementary in the Delano Union Elementary District, Alila's performance is significantly lower across all metrics. Addressing the school's challenges, which appear to be deeply rooted in the socioeconomic and demographic factors of the community it serves, will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to improve student outcomes at Alila.

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.
