Summary:
The Santa Monica Boulevard Community Charter District contains a single elementary school, Santa Monica Boulevard Community Charter. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California elementary schools over the past three years, with proficiency rates on standardized tests ranging from 20% to 51% across different grade levels and subject areas. The school faces challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (96.28%) and a student-teacher ratio slightly higher than the state average.
Santa Monica Boulevard Community Charter's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments and the California Science Test (CAST) is generally below the state average. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate for the 2022-2023 school year was 3.2%, which is lower than the state average. This suggests that while the school is struggling academically, it is doing a better job than the state average in keeping students engaged and attending school regularly.
To improve the school's performance, further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary. Examining trends in student enrollment, demographic changes, and specific programs or interventions the school has implemented could provide valuable insights. Additionally, gathering qualitative data, such as teacher and parent feedback, could help identify the school's strengths and areas for improvement. With a focus on addressing the unique challenges faced by the school's student population, Santa Monica Boulevard Community Charter District can work to enhance the educational outcomes for its students.
