Impact Academy of Arts & Technology

Summary:

Impact Academy of Arts & Technology is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Hayward, California, with 775 students. The school is part of the Impact Academy of Arts & Technology District, which is ranked 665 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Impact Academy consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 78.41% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 55.73%. However, the school's mathematics proficiency rates are lower than the state average, with only 19.32% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better. In science, Impact Academy's proficiency rates are higher than the state average, with 48.42% of 12th graders scoring proficient or better in CAST Science. The school's Hispanic and Pacific Islander students outperform their statewide counterparts in ELA and mathematics, while the school's Asian and White students perform below their statewide peers. Impact Academy has maintained a high four-year graduation rate of 97% in 2022-2023 and 100% in 2021-2022, but its dropout rate of 3% in 2022-2023 is higher than the state's average.

Compared to nearby schools, Impact Academy outperforms Arroyo High, Hayward High, and Mt. Eden High in ELA and science proficiency, but lags behind in mathematics. Nearby charter schools, such as KIPP King Collegiate High and Leadership Public Schools - Hayward, generally outperform Impact Academy in both ELA and mathematics. Despite serving a relatively high proportion of low-income students, Impact Academy's low-income students perform well compared to their peers statewide. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.5% in 2022-2023 is a concern that may impact student learning and academic outcomes.

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.
