Summary:

Wingland Elementary is a public elementary school located in Bakersfield, California, serving 751 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Standard Elementary District, which is ranked 1481 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wingland Elementary faces significant challenges, including a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 16.8% in 2018-2019 to 57.6% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than nearby Standard Elementary (53.8%) and Highland Elementary (41.2%). The school also consistently underperforms compared to the state and nearby schools in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, with only 19.94% of students proficient or better in ELA/Literacy and 13.11% in Mathematics, lower than the state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively.

While Wingland Elementary struggles, some nearby schools, such as Olive Drive Elementary and Discovery Elementary, which are part of the Norris Elementary and Fruitvale Elementary districts, respectively, demonstrate that high-need student populations can achieve better outcomes with the right resources and support. The declining statewide ranking of Wingland Elementary, from 4,224 out of 5,530 California elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 5,414 out of 5,862 in 2023-2024, suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
