Wing Lane Elementary

Summary:

Wing Lane Elementary is a public elementary school located in La Puente, California, serving 303 students in grades K-5 and part of the Hacienda la Puente Unified school district.

While Wing Lane Elementary faces significant challenges, including a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism rates from 5.3% to 35.8% over the past five years, the school's academic performance consistently lags behind district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 27.14% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 48.59% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was just 15%, well below the 36.92% district average and 35.54% state average. The school also struggles to support certain student subgroups, with only 1% of English Language Learners and 1% of Special Education students reaching proficiency in ELA and Math.

When compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Baldwin Academy and Valinda School of Academics, Wing Lane Elementary consistently underperforms in academic assessments and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students (over 80%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that addressing the socioeconomic factors impacting student learning could be a crucial step in improving the school's overall performance, which has steadily declined in statewide rankings over the past decade.

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.
