The Academy of Alameda

Summary:

The Academy of Alameda is a public charter elementary school serving 607 students in grades K-8 in Alameda, California. It is part of the The Academy of Alameda District, which is ranked 322 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

The Academy of Alameda consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across most grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, 55.68% of students were proficient or better in ELA End-of-Course, compared to the state average of 47.04%. In Mathematics, 47.49% of students were proficient or better in End-of-Course, compared to the state average of 35.54%. However, the school faces some challenges, such as higher chronic absenteeism rates of 21.8% and uneven performance across student subgroups, with Hispanic students underperforming compared to Asian and White students.

Compared to nearby schools in the Alameda Unified School District, such as Love Elementary and Maya Lin, The Academy of Alameda generally outperforms them in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. However, it lags behind the high-performing American Indian Public Charter School II in several metrics. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 19.7 may contribute to its academic performance, but its higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.58% to 57.18%, suggests it serves a more economically disadvantaged population compared to some nearby schools.

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.
