Cleminson Elementary

Summary:

Cleminson Elementary is a public elementary school in Temple City, California, serving 340 students in grades K-6 and part of the El Monte City School District. The school consistently outperforms its district and the state of California in academic performance, with 50.82% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 44.15% in mathematics, compared to 46.67% and 36.28% for the district, respectively.

While Cleminson Elementary's performance is strong compared to its district, it lags behind the higher-performing schools in the neighboring Arcadia Unified School District, such as Baldwin Stocker Elementary and Longley Way Elementary. This disparity may be attributed to the high percentage of students at Cleminson Elementary who are eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively disadvantaged population. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 2.3% in 2018-2019 to 8.8% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average.

Cleminson Elementary's performance also reveals equity and opportunity gaps, with female students outperforming their male counterparts, and Asian students and English Language Learners performing below the state averages for their respective groups. Addressing these gaps and the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be areas of focus for the school and district to ensure all students have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.

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.
