Summary:
Learning by Design Charter District contains a single elementary school, Learning by Design Charter, which serves grades K-5. The school has seen fluctuating academic performance, with standout math proficiency rates but inconsistent English Language Arts (ELA) scores. While the school's math proficiency, particularly in 3rd grade, is significantly higher than the state average, its ELA performance has been more uneven, with improvements in 2023-2024 after a low point the prior year.
Learning by Design Charter faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 44.4% and a student population where nearly 69% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. These factors may contribute to the school's declining statewide ranking, which has dropped from 2,215 out of 5,862 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 5,800 out of 5,883 in 2021-2022. The school will likely need to focus on stabilizing and improving its ELA instruction, as well as addressing issues related to poverty and chronic absenteeism, in order to improve its overall academic outcomes and ranking.
Overall, Learning by Design Charter District contains a single elementary school with some strengths in math but challenges in maintaining consistent performance, particularly in ELA. Targeted interventions and support may be needed to help the school better serve its predominantly low-income student population and improve its academic standing within the state.
