Bayside Academy

Summary:

Bayside Academy is a public elementary school serving 842 students in grades K-8 in the San Mateo-Foster City School District. While the school has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top 29% of California elementary schools, it faces some notable challenges compared to nearby schools in the district.

Bayside Academy has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.3% in 2017-2018 to 26.2% in 2022-2023, notably higher than the district average of 10.7% at Foster City Elementary. Additionally, the school's test scores, while above the state average, lag behind district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Bayside also struggles to support some of its student subgroups, with Hispanic students and low socioeconomic status students performing significantly below their peers.

Compared to other elementary schools in the area, such as College Park Elementary and Brewer Island Elementary, Bayside Academy's performance is relatively lower. Interestingly, two of the highest-performing schools in the area are North Shoreview Montessori and Parkside Montessori, suggesting the Montessori approach may be a successful model in the district. Addressing Bayside's chronic absenteeism and providing additional support for its vulnerable student populations could be key focus areas for improvement.

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.
