Community School for Creative Education

Summary:

Community School for Creative Education is a public charter elementary school serving 183 students in grades K-8 in Oakland, California. This relatively small school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools in recent years, with a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges, including an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 48.6% in the 2022-2023 school year, well above the state average of 15-20%. Academically, the school's performance is well below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 18.1% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 47.04%. In math, the proficiency rate was just 9.68%, versus 35.54% statewide. The school serves a high-needs population, with 75.96% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, higher than most nearby schools.

When comparing Community School for Creative Education to other nearby public schools, such as Achieve Academy and Bella Vista Elementary, it consistently performs worse on academic measures. The school's extremely high chronic absenteeism rate is a major concern and likely a contributing factor to its poor academic outcomes. Despite being a charter school, Community School for Creative Education has not shown significant improvement in its performance over the past several years, indicating the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational model, leadership, and resource allocation.

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.
