Pasadena Rosebud Academy

Q: Is Pasadena Rosebud Academy a good school?

Pasadena Rosebud Academy ranks 2156 th of 5862 California elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Pasadena Rosebud Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 152 students in grades K-8 in Altadena, CA. The school is part of the Pasadena Rosebud Academy District, which is ranked 481 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Pasadena Rosebud Academy's key strengths is its strong performance for African American students, consistently ranking in the top 15% of California elementary schools for this student population. The school also maintains high proficiency rates for its low-income students, earning 4-star ratings in both ELA and Math. However, the school faces challenges with a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 32.7% compared to nearby schools. While the school generally outperforms the state average in ELA proficiency, its Math performance is more mixed, with some grades below the state average.

Compared to nearby traditional public schools like Webster Elementary, Mary W. Jackson STEAM Multilingual Magnet, and Longfellow Elementary, Pasadena Rosebud Academy performs better. However, it lags behind high-performing charter schools like Odyssey Charter and OCS-South. Additionally, the school's statewide rank has declined over time, suggesting it may be losing ground compared to other elementary schools in California.

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.
