Summary:
The Julia Lee Performing Arts Academy, the sole school in the Julia Lee Performing Arts Academy District, is an elementary school serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 428 students. However, the school's performance appears to be struggling, ranking 4105 out of 5862 California elementary schools and receiving a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, the school's proficiency rates on standardized tests like the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST are consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For instance, in 2023-2024, the school's 8th-grade proficiency rate in English Language Arts/Literacy was 13.79%, compared to the state average of 45.95%, and in Mathematics, it was 6.9%, compared to the state average of 31.57%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.4%, which is above the state average.
Socioeconomic factors may also be contributing to the school's challenges, as it serves a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 58.88% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Given the consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges, the Julia Lee Performing Arts Academy appears to be in need of targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education to its students.
