Summary:
The Palm Lane Global Academy District has only one elementary school, Palm Lane Global Academy. This school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 4,104 out of 5,862 California elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 5,119 out of 5,883 in 2021-2022. With an overall rating of just 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, Palm Lane Global Academy is performing below average compared to other schools in the state.
The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science consistently falling short of the statewide averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rate in ELA was 30.56%, compared to the state average of 42.8%, and in 3rd grade Math, the school's proficiency rate was 27.78%, compared to the state average of 45.64%. These substantial achievement gaps indicate that students at Palm Lane Global Academy are struggling to meet academic standards.
Demographic factors may be contributing to the school's challenges, as Palm Lane Global Academy has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (84.25% in 2022-2023) and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 18.2 in 2022-2023. These socioeconomic factors are often associated with lower educational outcomes, and the data suggests that the school may need targeted interventions and support to improve student performance and close the achievement gaps.
