Summary:
The Camino Nuevo Charter Academy #4 District contains a single elementary school, Camino Nuevo Charter Academy #4, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance data reveals significant challenges, with consistently low rankings, academic proficiency rates well below state averages, and high chronic absenteeism rates.
Camino Nuevo Charter Academy #4 is ranked in the bottom 15% of California elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all substantially lower than state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 22%, compared to the state average of 42.8%. Similarly, the school's Mathematics proficiency rates ranged from 13.56% to 23.53%, while the state averages were 34.31% to 45.64%.
Additionally, the school faces high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 43.4% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average. This, combined with the school's predominantly low-income student population, with 89.34% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggests that the school is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing these issues, such as the root causes of chronic absenteeism and the unique needs of the school's low-income student population, should be a priority for the district and school leadership.
