Summary:

Pine Ridge Elementary has shown fluctuating academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 314 to 4,220 out of around 5,800 California elementary schools. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (48.89%) and Mathematics (40%) are generally higher than the state averages, but its Science proficiency (28.57%) is slightly lower. However, the school has experienced significant fluctuations in chronic absenteeism, ranging from 3.8% to 49.4%, with the current rate of 37.8% being notably higher than the state average. Interestingly, Pine Ridge Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.1 to 13.8 students per teacher, which is lower than the nearby Spring Valley Elementary and North Fork Elementary schools.

The percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch at Pine Ridge Elementary has also fluctuated significantly, from 16.85% to 77.78%, which is not observed in the nearby schools. The school's current free and reduced-price lunch eligibility rate of 27.54% is lower than the nearby schools, which range from 43.72% to 76.19%. These fluctuations in socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's inconsistent academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates, which are not seen in the surrounding schools. Further investigation and targeted interventions could help improve Pine Ridge Elementary's overall performance and student outcomes.

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.
