Summary:
The Synergy Charter Academy District contains a single elementary school, Synergy Charter Academy, which serves students from grades K-5. While the school has consistently ranked in the top 35-40% of elementary schools in California, its academic performance shows mixed results compared to the state average.
Synergy Charter Academy outperforms the state average in English Language Arts/Literacy at the 3rd and 4th-grade levels, but underperforms at the 5th-grade and end-of-course levels. In Mathematics, the school outperforms the state average at the 3rd-grade level but falls behind at the higher grade levels. Additionally, the school underperforms the state average in Science at the 5th-grade and end-of-course assessments. These inconsistencies in academic performance suggest that the school may have effective teaching strategies in certain subject areas and grade levels, but also indicates room for improvement in others.
Synergy Charter Academy faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (96.07%) and a relatively high student-to-teacher ratio of 25.4. The school also has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 24.9% compared to the state average, which could be a contributing factor to its mixed academic performance. While the school's overall ranking places it in the top 35-40% of California elementary schools, addressing these challenges and targeting areas of underperformance could be key focus areas for the school to enhance student outcomes and better support the needs of its predominantly low-income student population.
