Everett A. Rea Elementary

Summary:

Everett A. Rea Elementary is a public elementary school in Costa Mesa, California, serving 333 students in grades K-6 and part of the Newport-Mesa Unified School District.

Despite being part of a district ranked 430 out of 1,568 in California, Everett A. Rea Elementary has consistently low statewide rankings, ranging from 916 out of 1,417 California elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 5,432 out of 5,611 in 2014-2015. Its rating has also been low, with 0-2 stars out of 5 from SchoolDigger for most years. However, the school performs better in some student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, compared to its overall ranking. Concerningly, Everett A. Rea Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.6% in 2018-2019 to 32.0% in 2022-2023, which may be impacting student achievement.

Compared to nearby Newport Heights Elementary and Heinz Kaiser Elementary, also part of the Newport-Mesa Unified School District, Everett A. Rea Elementary performs significantly worse, with much lower statewide rankings, test scores, and chronic absenteeism rates. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.25% to 93.69% over the past few years, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's performance.

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.
