Academia Moderna District

The Academia Moderna District contains a single elementary school, Academia Moderna, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 453 students. The school is a public charter institution ranked 1509 out of 1568 districts in California, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academia Moderna faces significant challenges, with consistently low test scores across all subjects and grade levels compared to state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 11.11% to 26.92% in English Language Arts and 11.54% to 19.48% in Mathematics, well below the California state averages. Additionally, the school has an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 45.8%, indicating that a large portion of the student population is missing a significant amount of instructional time, which could be a contributing factor to the low test scores.

Further compounding the school's struggles, Academia Moderna serves a high percentage of students from low-income families, with a 92.72% free and reduced lunch rate. This socioeconomic challenge may be a significant factor in the school's performance, as students from disadvantaged backgrounds often face additional obstacles that can impact their academic achievement. Given the school's overall low performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges, it is clear that Academia Moderna requires substantial intervention and support to improve the quality of education it provides to its students.
