Fryberger Elementary

Summary:

Fryberger Elementary is a public elementary school in Westminster, California, serving 345 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. It is part of the Westminster School District, which is ranked 515 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Fryberger Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with particularly strong performance among Hispanic students and English Language Learners. However, the school faces challenges, including a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (82.61%) and an increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.8% in 2018-2019 to 17.7% in 2022-2023. Compared to nearby schools, Fryberger outperforms Finley Elementary and Schmitt Elementary, but lags behind the higher-performing Sequoia Elementary and Willmore Elementary, which are also part of the Westminster School District.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Fryberger suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income community, in contrast to the nearby Garden Park Elementary and Loyal Barker Elementary schools in the Garden Grove Unified School District, which have lower free and reduced-price lunch rates and higher overall academic performance.

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.
