Romoland Elementary

Summary:

Romoland Elementary is a public elementary school serving 488 students in grades K-5 in Romoland, California, which is part of the Romoland Elementary School District. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, low academic performance, and a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Romoland Elementary has seen a dramatic increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.5% in 2018-2019 to 36.4% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the state average of 14.3%. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is consistently below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 34.68% of Romoland Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 47.04%, and only 26.24% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 35.54%. Romoland Elementary also has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.62% to 91.19% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Romoland Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools, such as Boulder Ridge Elementary, Hillside Innovation Academy, and Freedom Crest Elementary, as well as schools in the neighboring Menifee Union and Perris Elementary districts, such as Mesa View Elementary and Ridgemoor Elementary. To improve, Romoland Elementary may need to focus on addressing the specific needs of its student population, learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools, and implementing targeted strategies to improve attendance and academic achievement.

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.
