Chaparral Hills Elementary

Summary:

Chaparral Hills Elementary is a public elementary school in Moreno Valley, California, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school faces significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently underperforming test scores compared to the district and state, and struggles to support its diverse student population.

Chaparral Hills Elementary has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.6% in 2017-2018 to 35.0% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. The school's academic performance is also a concern, with only 28% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 23.18% in Mathematics, compared to the district and state averages. Chaparral Hills struggles to support its diverse student groups, ranking low for subgroups such as female students, male students, African American students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, nearby schools within the Moreno Valley Unified School District, such as Butterfield Language Academy, Sunnymead Elementary, and Serrano Elementary, generally outperform Chaparral Hills Elementary in test scores and other key metrics. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch at Chaparral Hills suggest that socioeconomic challenges and attendance issues may be significant factors contributing to the school's underperformance, indicating a need for a comprehensive school improvement plan to address these issues.

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.
