Lexington Elementary

Summary:

Lexington Elementary is a public elementary school in Pomona, California, serving 530 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the Pomona Unified School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lexington Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently low test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages, and underperforming subgroups such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 94.34% to 95.59% over the past three school years, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio. In comparison, nearby schools like Ranch Hills Elementary and Westmont Elementary generally perform better in terms of test scores, chronic absenteeism rates, and overall school rankings.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Lexington Elementary suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income community, which may contribute to the challenges the school faces in academic performance and attendance. To address these issues, Lexington Elementary may benefit from targeted interventions and support, such as strategies to improve attendance, implementing evidence-based instructional practices, and providing additional resources and support for struggling 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.
