Among 5,929 elementary schools in California with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 455 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 14th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 25.7:1, above the California median of 22.4:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are White (32.7%) and Hispanic or Latino (31.9%). English learners represent 19.8% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 11.4%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
