K. I. Jones Elementary

Summary:

K. I. Jones Elementary is a public elementary school in Fairfield, CA, serving 713 students in grades K-5 and part of the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District. This school consistently ranks in the top 25% of California elementary schools, with strong academic performance that exceeds district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

K. I. Jones Elementary particularly stands out for its exceptional performance among Hispanic and African American student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% and top 15% of California elementary schools, respectively. The school also demonstrates strong results for its Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students. However, the school's performance for its White and Multi-racial student subgroups is more average, suggesting potential equity gaps that warrant further investigation. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has increased significantly in recent years, from 5.9% in 2017-2018 to 30.6% in 2021-2022, which is an area of concern that should be addressed.

Compared to nearby schools in the Fairfield-Suisun Unified District, K. I. Jones outperforms the majority, including E. Ruth Sheldon Academy, Dover Elementary, Anna Kyle Elementary, and Cleo Gordon Elementary, which all have significantly lower academic proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism. The only nearby school that appears to be performing at a comparable level is Rolling Hills Elementary. Understanding the factors that contribute to K. I. Jones' success, especially for its high-performing subgroups, could provide valuable insights for other schools in the district and beyond.

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.
