Double Peak

Summary:

Double Peak is an elementary school in San Marcos, California that serves 1,211 students in grades K-8. It is part of the San Marcos Unified School District, which is ranked 475 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Double Peak consistently outperforms the district and the state of California in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, 71.56% of Double Peak students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 56.53% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In math, 68.72% of Double Peak students were proficient or better, compared to 46.17% for the district and 35.54% for the state. The school's performance is particularly strong for female, Hispanic, and multi-racial students, who all rank in the top 25% of California elementary schools in their respective categories. Double Peak also has relatively low chronic absenteeism rates and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the district and state.

While Double Peak's performance is still strong, there has been a slight decline in its statewide ranking and San Marcos Unified star rating over the past few years, from a high of 426 out of 5,789 California elementary schools and a 5-star rating in 2018-2019 to a ranking of 583 out of 5,862 schools and a 5-star rating in 2023-2024. This could be an area of concern that the school should investigate further. However, Double Peak still outperforms the other San Marcos Unified schools, as well as nearby Community Montessori and Baypoint Preparatory Academy - San Diego charter schools, in most subject areas and grade levels.

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.
