North Broadway Elementary

Summary:

North Broadway Elementary is a public elementary school in Escondido, California, serving 515 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Escondido Union School District, which is ranked 994 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

North Broadway Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally below the district and state averages. However, the school has shown some strengths, such as higher proficiency rates in 4th and 5th-grade English Language Arts compared to the district and state. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and a high percentage of students from low-income families. Interestingly, the nearby Reidy Creek Elementary has consistently outperformed North Broadway Elementary, ranking in the top quartile of California elementary schools.

Despite the challenges, North Broadway Elementary has the potential for improvement. The school's Hispanic students have performed better than the state average, and there have been occasional grade-level proficiency rates that exceed the district and state averages. With targeted interventions and support, the school may be able to address the unique needs of its student population and improve its overall academic outcomes.

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.
