Lasselle Elementary is a higher-need, mid-sized elementary school in Moreno Valley, California, enrolling 812 students.
Class loads run heavy: 27.1:1 is larger than about 90% of California schools and 26% above the 21.5:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 60.4% lands close to the California typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 812 puts it in the larger third of California schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 9,998 scored California schools.
Against 1,351 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks mid-pack at #628.
Its student body is led by Hispanic or Latino (67%) and African American (19%) (diversity index 51/100).
Counselor access is stretched at roughly 812 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 28.2% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 17.7% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Moreno Valley's elementary schools, it stands alongside Butterfield Language Academy (963 students): Lasselle Elementary is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (27.1:1 vs 20.9:1).
