Summary:
The Equitas Academy 4 District consists of a single public charter middle school, Equitas Academy 4, which serves grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 390 students. The school's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California middle schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling below state averages across all grade levels.
Equitas Academy 4 faces significant challenges, including a high poverty rate, with over 92% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.9%. These factors may be contributing to the school's low academic performance, as the combination of socioeconomic challenges and high absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and achievement.
While Equitas Academy 4 may be struggling, its status as a public charter school could provide opportunities for innovative approaches and targeted interventions to address these issues and improve student outcomes. However, the school's consistent underperformance compared to state averages suggests that substantial efforts may be needed to support the success of its students and ensure they receive a high-quality education.
