Ella Elementary

Summary:

Ella Elementary is a public elementary school located in Olivehurst, California, serving 567 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Marysville Joint Unified School District, which is ranked 1083 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ella Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 10.6% in 2018-2019 to 35.0% in 2022-2023, well above district and state averages. Academically, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state, with only 25.55% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 18.55% in Mathematics in 2023-2024. Ella Elementary's subgroups, such as White students and Disabled students, perform significantly worse than their peers at the district and state levels. However, the school's English Language Learner and Special Education students perform relatively better, suggesting potential opportunities for improvement.

Compared to nearby schools within the Marysville Joint Unified District, such as Covillaud Elementary, Edgewater Elementary, and Arboga Elementary, Ella Elementary's performance is significantly lower. These nearby schools consistently outperform Ella Elementary in academic assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and the increasing chronic absenteeism rates at Ella Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's underperformance.

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.
