Summary:
The ISANA Nascent Academy District contains a single elementary school, ISANA Nascent Academy, which has consistently struggled to perform at a high level. The school's statewide ranking has placed it in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools over the past three years, and its academic achievement on standardized tests is significantly below the state average across multiple grade levels and subject areas.
ISANA Nascent Academy's proficiency rates on the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST are alarmingly low, with only 26.92% of 3rd-grade students proficient in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 42.8%. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, at 40.1% in the 2022-2023 school year, and a high percentage of students (90.08%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges among the student population.
While the data suggests that ISANA Nascent Academy is a low-performing school that requires targeted interventions and additional resources to improve student outcomes, it is important to note that the school's challenges are not necessarily related to the racial makeup of the student population. The school's struggles are likely due to a complex combination of factors, including socioeconomic status, access to resources, and the specific educational needs of the students. Addressing these issues will be crucial in helping ISANA Nascent Academy provide a better educational experience for its students.
