Summary:
The Urban Montessori Charter is the sole elementary school located in the Urban Montessori Charter District in California, serving grades K-8 with an enrollment of 328 students.
While the school's science proficiency rates are above the state average, its English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates are generally below the state averages, indicating room for improvement in these core academic areas. Additionally, the school's ranking has declined over the past three years, going from 3741 in 2022-2023 to 3800 in 2021-2022 out of 5862 California elementary schools. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.8% is also a concern, as chronic absenteeism is often linked to lower academic achievement and other negative outcomes.
Furthermore, the fact that over a quarter of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges. The school's high student-teacher ratio of 48:1 may also make it more difficult for teachers to provide individualized attention and support to students, which could impact learning outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Urban Montessori Charter faces some challenges in terms of academic performance, student attendance, and resource allocation that may need to be addressed to improve the school's outcomes and ranking within the state.
