Rock Springs Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (79.55%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 24.02% to 93.83% Hispanic students. The school has also experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 17.0% in 2017-2018 to 44.1% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools, which range from 0.0% to 41.9%. Academically, Rock Springs Elementary consistently performs below the Escondido Union School District and the state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with only 23.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2022-2023, compared to 34.4% for the district and 46.66% for the state.

When comparing Rock Springs Elementary to nearby schools, such as North Broadway Elementary and Limitless Learning Academy, both within the Escondido Union School District, it becomes evident that Rock Springs Elementary is underperforming in several key areas, including test scores and chronic absenteeism. Additionally, the school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as male students, Hispanic students, and students with disabilities, who rank in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools. These challenges may be exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 77.88% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

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.
