Julius Cordes Elementary

Summary:

Julius Cordes Elementary is a public K-8 school in Mountain House, California, part of the highly-ranked Lammersville Joint Unified School District. With a diverse student population, the school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic achievement, ranking among the top 5% of California elementary schools.

Julius Cordes Elementary's academic excellence is evident across all grade levels and subject areas, with significantly higher percentages of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. The school's exceptional performance extends to its English Language Learner students, ranking in the top 2% of California elementary schools for this group. Additionally, Julius Cordes maintains low chronic absenteeism rates and a very low percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, indicating a high socioeconomic status of the student population.

In contrast to the nearby schools in the Tracy Joint Unified and Lammersville Joint Unified districts, Julius Cordes Elementary's academic performance and school rankings are significantly higher. This suggests that the factors contributing to the school's success, such as effective teaching practices and strong leadership, may not be consistently present in the surrounding schools, presenting an opportunity for the district to study and replicate the school's best practices.

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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
