Invictus Academy of Richmond

Summary:

Invictus Academy of Richmond is a public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in El Cerrito, California, with 330 students. The school has struggled academically, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly lower than the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for 11th grade students. However, the school has shown some bright spots in its performance for certain student subgroups, such as its African American students ranking 39th out of 720 California high schools.

Invictus Academy of Richmond's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby high schools, such as Berkeley High, El Cerrito High, and Albany High, which have significantly higher proficiency rates on state assessments and higher graduation rates. The school's performance is also mixed compared to other charter schools in the area, with Leadership Public Schools: Richmond and Summit Public School K2 having higher academic achievement and graduation rates than Invictus.

The school's extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 47.1% in 2022-2023 is a major concern and likely a significant factor in its academic struggles. Additionally, the high percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced-price lunch at Invictus Academy of Richmond (70.91% in 2022-2023) is a significant challenge, as research shows that students from low-income backgrounds often face additional barriers to academic success. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and supporting the school's high-need student population should be a top priority for the Invictus Academy of Richmond District and the school itself.

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.
