Napa Street Elementary

Summary:

Napa Street Elementary is a public elementary school in Northridge, California, serving 413 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, the second-largest school district in the United States. However, Napa Street Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools, receiving a 1-star rating out of 5 for the past several years.

Napa Street Elementary faces significant challenges, including a student population that is over 80% Hispanic, significantly underperforming on standardized tests compared to state and district averages, and a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.8% in 2017-2018 to 36.5% in 2022-2023. Additionally, over 90% of Napa Street Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While nearby schools like Topeka Charter School For Advanced Studies and Calahan Street Elementary perform significantly better, Napa Street Elementary's performance is particularly concerning for English Language Learners and students with disabilities, who rank in the bottom 10% and 20% of California elementary schools, respectively.

Despite these challenges, Napa Street Elementary's performance has shown some fluctuations over the years, with a higher ranking and 2-star rating in the 2014-2015 school year. This suggests that there may be opportunities for the school to improve its academic outcomes and overall performance with the right interventions and support. Addressing the issues of academic performance, student demographics, and chronic absenteeism should be a priority for Napa Street Elementary and the Los Angeles Unified School District to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
