Elementary Schools in Old Town Academy K-8 Charter District

The Old Town Academy K-8 Charter is the sole elementary school located within the Old Town Academy K-8 Charter District in San Diego, California. Serving grades K-8, this school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, where its proficiency rates often exceed the state averages.

The school's test scores on the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST (California Science Test) are consistently higher than the state averages, and its statewide ranking on SchoolDigger has placed it in the top half of California elementary schools. Additionally, the Old Town Academy K-8 Charter District, which the school is a part of, is ranked 343 out of 1,568 districts in the state and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 22.0% is higher than the state average, which could be an area of concern. Additionally, the school's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that it may serve a more affluent population compared to the state average, which could be a factor in its academic performance. Overall, the Old Town Academy K-8 Charter appears to be a high-performing school, but there may be opportunities for improvement in addressing chronic absenteeism and ensuring equitable access to educational opportunities.
