Summary:
The Aspire Juanita Tate Academy Charter is the sole elementary school located within the Aspire Juanita Tate Academy Charter District in California. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 69.62% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's consistent ranking in the middle of California elementary schools, its academic performance on standardized tests is generally below the statewide averages in both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics.
The school's proficiency rates range from 28.85% to 50% in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the statewide averages of 42.8% to 47.37%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates range from 17.31% to 52.83%, compared to the statewide averages of 34.31% to 45.64%. Additionally, the school's Science proficiency rate of 20.75% is significantly lower than the statewide average of 32.68% for 5th grade. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 34.6% is also notably higher than the state average, which may be a contributing factor to the low academic performance.
While the school's student-teacher ratio of 22.9 is slightly higher than the typical recommended ratio for elementary schools, the school's overall performance and challenges suggest a need for targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a focus on improving instructional practices and student engagement. Addressing the underlying causes of the school's academic and attendance challenges could be crucial for improving the educational outcomes for the students served by the Aspire Juanita Tate Academy Charter.
