Summary:

Juliette Low School of the Arts is an elementary school in Anaheim, California, serving 475 students in grades K-6 and part of the Magnolia Elementary School District. This school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, particularly in supporting its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student populations.

Juliette Low School of the Arts outperforms both the Magnolia Elementary District and the state of California in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates across all grade levels. For example, the school's 4th grade ELA proficiency rate was 60% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 43.2% for the district and 43.9% for the state. In 3rd grade Mathematics, Juliette Low's proficiency rate was 54.17%, higher than the district's 45.83% and the state's 45.64%. The school's performance is particularly strong for its Hispanic and ELL students, ranking in the top 30% and top 15% of California elementary schools, respectively, in recent years.

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.
