Monarch Learning Center

Summary:

Monarch Learning Center is a small public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Redding, California, with only 85 students. Despite its small size, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a statewide rank between 5785-5861 out of around 5,800-5,900 California elementary schools in recent years.

Monarch Learning Center significantly underperforms the state and nearby schools on standardized test scores, with only 24.07% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the California average of 47.04%, and just 11.32% proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 35.54%. The school's science proficiency rates were also very low at 11.11% compared to 30.7% statewide. However, Monarch Learning Center has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 1.1%, which is significantly lower than the nearby Cypress Elementary, Manzanita Elementary, and other local schools that ranged from 14.3% to 35.0%.

Monarch Learning Center serves a high-needs student population, with 69.41% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the nearby Alta Mesa Elementary (49.52%) and Lassen View Elementary (87.83%). The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17:1, which is lower than the nearby schools that ranged from 19:1 to 24.4:1. Despite these factors, Monarch Learning Center continues to struggle, ranking in the bottom 1-2% of California elementary schools, and underperforming the Redding Elementary and Enterprise Elementary districts on academic measures.

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.
