Summary:
The Golden Charter Academy District consists of a single elementary school, Golden Charter Academy, which serves grades K-8. The school has consistently low performance on standardized tests, with proficiency rates well below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 22.86% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 47.04%, and only 7.14% were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 35.54%.
Golden Charter Academy also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 45.7% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (87.79%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 24.9 to 1 may also contribute to the difficulties in student performance.
Given the school's persistent low performance, targeted interventions and support are needed to improve student outcomes. This may include strategies to address chronic absenteeism, provide additional resources and support for economically disadvantaged students, and reduce the student-teacher ratio. Addressing the underlying issues and implementing effective interventions will be crucial to ensuring that all students at Golden Charter Academy have access to a high-quality education.
