Mammoth Elementary

Summary:

Mammoth Elementary is a public elementary school serving 529 students in grades K-5 in Mammoth Lakes, CA, which is part of the Mammoth Unified School District. While the district is ranked 546 out of 1,568 school districts in California, Mammoth Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California elementary schools over the past decade, currently ranking 3,041 out of 5,862 schools with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mammoth Elementary faces significant challenges, including large performance gaps between different student subgroups. White and special education students perform relatively well, but Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low-socioeconomic status students perform very poorly, ranking in the bottom 20% of schools. The school's test scores on state assessments are consistently below state and district averages, with only 39.39% of students proficient or better in ELA and 35.45% in math. Additionally, Mammoth Elementary has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11% in 2018-2019 to 51.8% in 2021-2022, which likely impacts student learning and achievement.

The high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, over 50%, suggests that Mammoth Elementary may be operating with limited resources and facing challenges in providing a high-quality education to its economically disadvantaged student population. Addressing these concerns, including the declining performance, equity gaps, attendance issues, and resource constraints, should be a top priority for the school and district to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
