New Village Girls Academy

Summary:

New Village Girls Academy is a public charter high school in Los Angeles, California, serving 79 students in grades 9-12. Unfortunately, the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The data shows that New Village Girls Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of California high schools, with only 10% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 0% proficient or better in Mathematics. The school also has a concerning dropout rate of 30.8% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 86.4%, both of which are significantly higher than the state averages. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 52.8% and 69.2% over the past two years, well below the state average. Compared to nearby charter schools like Central City Value and Rise Kohyang High, which have significantly higher academic performance, graduation rates, and lower dropout and chronic absenteeism rates, New Village Girls Academy is clearly struggling.

The data also suggests that the challenges facing New Village Girls Academy may be worsening rather than improving, as the school's statewide ranking and star rating have steadily declined over the past few years. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve student outcomes and support the school's long-term success. With 96.2% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a high-need population, and addressing the socioeconomic challenges facing its students will be crucial to the school's future success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
