University Charter School

The University Charter School district in Alabama operates two schools: University Charter School Elementary and University Charter School Secondary. The elementary school has demonstrated consistent performance, with students scoring above the state average in English language arts and science assessments. In contrast, the secondary school faces challenges, particularly in 11th-grade math, where only 7.32% of students are proficient or better, compared to the state average of 23.12%.

The elementary school's strengths include relatively high performance on English language arts assessments and strong 4th-grade science results, with 52.94% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 43.54%. The secondary school, on the other hand, stands out for its impressive 6th-grade math performance, with 40.43% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 31.56%. Additionally, the secondary school performs above the state average in 8th-grade science and English language arts.

Both schools have diverse student populations, with a mix of White and African American students, as well as smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. However, the secondary school has a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 63.7%, compared to the elementary school's 47.01%, which may indicate socioeconomic factors that could impact student achievement. Overall, the University Charter School district has some strong-performing schools, but also faces challenges that require targeted interventions and continued monitoring to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
