Paragon Collegiate Academy District

The Paragon Collegiate Academy District consists of a single elementary school, Paragon Collegiate Academy, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. Based on the available data, Paragon Collegiate Academy appears to be a relatively low-performing school within the district and the state of California.

Paragon Collegiate Academy's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science assessments, is consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past few years, dropping from 3,361 out of 5,883 California elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 4,471 out of 5,862 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 9.9% is a concerning metric, as high rates of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and achievement.

While the school has a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio of 18:1, it also serves a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with approximately 46.8% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may face challenges related to socioeconomic factors, which can influence academic performance. Overall, the data analysis indicates that Paragon Collegiate Academy is an underperforming school within the district and the state, and further investigation into the school's specific context and strategies would be necessary to develop targeted interventions and improvements.
