Mistletoe Elementary

Summary:

Mistletoe Elementary is a public K-8 school in Redding, California, serving 644 students as part of the Enterprise Elementary District. This school consistently outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, particularly among Hispanic students and those with special education needs. However, Mistletoe faces challenges with increasing chronic absenteeism and achievement gaps, which may be influenced by its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and relatively high student-teacher ratio.

Compared to nearby schools, Mistletoe Elementary generally outperforms other Enterprise Elementary District schools like Boulder Creek Elementary and Lassen View Elementary. But when compared to schools in the Redding Elementary District, such as Cypress Elementary and Juniper, Mistletoe's performance is more mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas performing better and others performing worse.

Mistletoe Elementary's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 68.79% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to the school's overall performance and the observed achievement gaps between student subgroups. Additionally, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 22.8 to 23.6 students per teacher, may impact its ability to provide individualized attention and support to students, potentially contributing to the observed challenges.

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.
