Summary:
The Camino Nuevo Charter Academy #2 District contains a single elementary school, Camino Nuevo Charter Academy #2, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance metrics, as measured by standardized test scores, are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking places it in the bottom 12% of California elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Camino Nuevo Charter Academy #2 consistently underperforms the state average in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, as well as the California Science Test (CAST). The school's proficiency rates range from 10% to 28% in Mathematics and 14% to 28% in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state averages of 31% to 47% and 43% to 47%, respectively. Science proficiency rates are also low, with the school scoring around 12% proficient compared to the state average of 29% to 33%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 37% for the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average.
The school's high percentage of students (90.58%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch indicates that it serves a predominantly low-income community, which likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by the school and its students. The school's low academic performance, high needs student population, and high chronic absenteeism rate suggest that the school may be facing resource allocation challenges, and addressing these systemic issues should be a priority for the district and local education authorities to improve educational outcomes for the students.
