Summary:
The N.E.W. Academy of Science and Arts District contains a single elementary school, N.E.W. Academy of Science and Arts, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, this school appears to be underperforming compared to state averages across a range of academic metrics.
N.E.W. Academy of Science and Arts has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California elementary schools, with a 2-star rating in 2023-2024 and a 1-star rating in 2022-2023. The school's test scores are generally below the state average, particularly in science and Spanish language arts. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 9.52% of students were proficient or better in science, compared to 30.7% statewide. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.4%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.
Serving a high-need population, with 99.26% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, N.E.W. Academy of Science and Arts faces additional obstacles in supporting student learning and achievement. The school's student-teacher ratio of 25.5 to 1 is also on the higher end, which could make it more difficult for teachers to provide individualized attention and support to students. Overall, the data suggests that this school is struggling and may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
