Summary:
Rocketship Discovery Prep District contains a single elementary school, Rocketship Discovery Prep, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school faces several challenges, including a declining statewide ranking, high chronic absenteeism, and academic performance gaps compared to state averages.
Rocketship Discovery Prep's statewide ranking has dropped from 4018 out of 5883 California elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 2780 out of 5862 in 2023-2024, indicating the school is not keeping pace with others in the state. Additionally, the school's rating by SchoolDigger has remained at 3 stars out of 5, which is below the Rocketship Discovery Prep District average of 3 stars. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below state averages, with some exceptions in 5th grade ELA and 3rd grade Mathematics.
Another significant concern is Rocketship Discovery Prep's high chronic absenteeism rate of 46.3% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a high percentage of students (75.97%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This may require additional resources and support to address the academic and socioeconomic challenges faced by the school.
