Del Roble Elementary

Summary:

Del Roble Elementary is a public elementary school in San Jose, California, serving 470 students in grades K-6 and part of the Oak Grove Elementary School District.

While Del Roble Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.0% in 2020-2021 to 25.0% in 2022-2023, its academic performance is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in the lower grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade English Language Arts, Del Roble's proficiency rate was 31.58% compared to 42.08% for the district and 42.8% for the state. The school also struggles with supporting its Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) student population, ranking 1,850 out of 5,511 California elementary schools in 2023-2024 and receiving a 3-star rating.

Compared to nearby schools in the Oak Grove Elementary District, such as Sakamoto Elementary, Frost (Earl) Elementary, and Oak Ridge Elementary, Del Roble Elementary's performance is generally lower, with higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates. The school's fluctuating performance over the past decade, ranging from a low of 1 star to a high of 4 stars for its English Language Learner (ELL) student population, suggests the need for a more consistent and targeted approach to address these challenges and improve educational outcomes for all students.

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.
