Summary:
EPIC Academy is the sole public charter school serving grades K-8 in the EPIC Academy District, a high-performing district in California. Based on the available data, EPIC Academy stands out as an exceptional institution, ranking in the top 8.4% of all elementary schools in the state.
EPIC Academy's academic performance is truly remarkable, with proficiency rates on standardized tests significantly exceeding the statewide averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For instance, the school's end-of-course proficiency rate in ELA/Literacy was 80.5%, compared to the California average of 47.04%. In math, EPIC Academy's proficiency rate was 72.08%, more than double the state's 35.54%. The school's science proficiency rates were also impressive, with 62.09% of students scoring proficient or better, compared to 30.7% statewide.
Beyond its academic excellence, EPIC Academy has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two school years, and its district rank of 52 out of 1,568 districts in California (top 3.3%) further underscores its status as one of the highest-performing schools in the state. While the school's slightly higher-than-recommended student-teacher ratio of 20.7 could be an area for improvement, its low chronic absenteeism rate of 16.7% suggests it is effectively engaging its students, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
