Corona Avenue Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. It has a predominantly Hispanic student population (97.08%), which is higher than surrounding schools. Academically, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California elementary schools over the past decade and performs below district and state averages on standardized tests. Additionally, Corona Avenue Elementary has experienced a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.2% in 2017-2018 to 29.7% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the surrounding schools. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 93.78% to 96.32% over the past three years, significantly higher than nearby schools.

While the nearby schools, such as Aspire Antonio Maria Lugo Academy, Huntington Park Elementary, and Nueva Vista Elementary, also serve predominantly Hispanic and low-income student populations, they generally outperform Corona Avenue Elementary on academic measures and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. Understanding the factors that contribute to the relative success of these schools could provide valuable insights for improving the educational outcomes at Corona Avenue Elementary.

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.
