Royal Oaks Elementary

Summary:

Royal Oaks Elementary is a public K-8 school in Visalia, California, serving a student population of 617. The school is part of the Visalia Unified school district, which is ranked 894 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Royal Oaks Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 13.8% in 2018-2019 to 35.6% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 31.91% of students proficient or better in ELA and 19.82% in Mathematics. The school struggles to support certain student subgroups, particularly White and English Language Learner students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of their respective statewide subgroups.

When compared to nearby schools within the Visalia Unified district, such as Linwood Elementary and Cottonwood Creek Elementary, Royal Oaks Elementary is underperforming in both academic assessments and attendance. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Royal Oaks, 80.06% compared to the district average of 69.12%, may be a contributing factor to these challenges. Addressing chronic absenteeism and providing targeted academic support, particularly for underperforming student subgroups, could be crucial in improving educational outcomes at Royal Oaks Elementary.

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.
