Crane iLearning Academy

Summary:

Crane iLearning Academy is a public virtual elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Yuma, Arizona, with a small student population of only 15 students. Despite its small size, the school has demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly in 8th grade science and several grade levels of English Language Arts.

Compared to the nearby traditional elementary schools in the Crane Elementary District, Crane iLearning Academy has significantly higher test scores, with 67% proficiency in 8th grade science compared to 20% for the district and 27% for the state of Arizona. This suggests the virtual school may be providing a more effective educational experience for its students. However, the school has faced challenges with high dropout rates ranging from 3.5% to 17.9% over the past few years, which is much higher than the typical elementary school. The school also has had very high student-teacher ratios, ranging from 51.5 to 65 students per teacher, significantly higher than the nearby traditional elementary schools.

The racial makeup of Crane iLearning Academy has fluctuated over the past few years, with Hispanic students making up the majority (66.67% to 88.35%) and White students making up a smaller portion (7.77% to 21.54%). This unique student population, combined with the school's high academic performance and high dropout rates, warrants further investigation to better understand the factors contributing to its successes and challenges.

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.
