Summary:

Yermo Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in Yermo, California, with 340 students enrolled. The school is part of the Silver Valley Unified School District, which is ranked 850 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Yermo Elementary faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 10.4% in 2017-2018 to 27.2% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school also consistently underperforms compared to the district and state on standardized tests, with only 27.27% of students proficient or better in ELA/Literacy in 2023-2024, compared to 45.79% for the district and 47.04% for the state. Yermo Elementary's student group performance is also concerning, ranking in the bottom 20-25% of California elementary schools for female, male, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students.

Interestingly, the nearby Newberry Springs Elementary, also part of the Silver Valley Unified School District, consistently outperforms Yermo Elementary on test scores and has lower chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, Yermo Elementary's ranking and performance on key metrics have steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address these issues and improve student learning and 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.
