Summary

Ross (Betsy) Elementary is a public elementary school located in Anaheim, California, serving 812 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Anaheim Elementary District, which is ranked 1278 out of 1565 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ross (Betsy) Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school struggles across various student subgroups, with its Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students performing particularly poorly compared to state averages. However, the school's Special Education students have performed relatively better, ranking in the top 30% of California elementary schools in recent years. Additionally, Ross (Betsy) Elementary has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 33.5% in recent years, significantly above the state average.

Compared to nearby schools in the Anaheim Elementary District, such as Loara Elementary and Franklin (Benjamin) Elementary, Ross (Betsy) Elementary has significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. This disparity in academic performance is likely exacerbated by the school's high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 84.48% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Ross (Betsy) Elementary, the school's challenges suggest the need for more effective strategies and interventions to improve student outcomes.
