Enterprise Elementary

Summary:

Enterprise Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lancaster, CA, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 659 students. The school is part of the Eastside Union Elementary District, which is ranked 1482 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Enterprise Elementary faces significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates (49.4% in 2022-2023, compared to the state average of 16.1%), consistently low test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics (only 15.08% and 12.69% of students were proficient or better, respectively, in 2023-2024), and struggles to support various student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and low-income students. The school's performance is similar to other nearby schools in the Eastside Union Elementary District and Lancaster Elementary District, suggesting that the challenges may be systemic within the region.

Despite the persistent challenges, there are opportunities for improvement at Enterprise Elementary. The high chronic absenteeism rates suggest a need to better understand and address the underlying causes, and targeted interventions and support for underperforming student subgroups could help to close achievement gaps. Additionally, exploring best practices from higher-performing schools within the same district or region, such as Discovery or Tierra Bonita Elementary, may provide insights into strategies that could be implemented at Enterprise 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.
