Glen H. Dysinger Senior Elementary

Summary:

Glen H. Dysinger Senior Elementary is a public elementary school in Buena Park, California, serving students from kindergarten to 6th grade as part of the Centralia Elementary School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic and Asian representation, and generally strong academic performance compared to nearby schools, though it lags behind the district average.

Glen H. Dysinger's proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics on the Smarter Balanced Assessments are higher than the state averages, but lower than the Centralia Elementary District average. The school's performance in CAST Science is also above the state average. However, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate, which has increased significantly in recent years, and a large population of economically disadvantaged students, with 60.41% receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby schools, Glen H. Dysinger generally outperforms lower-performing schools in the Buena Park Elementary and Anaheim Elementary districts. The school's English Language Learner students have a very high ranking, but its White students have a low ranking, suggesting potential achievement gaps that need to be addressed. The high chronic absenteeism and significant population of economically disadvantaged students indicate the need for targeted interventions and additional support to ensure all students can reach their full potential.

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.
