Museum

Q: Is Museum a good school?

Museum ranks 1545 th of 5862 California elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Museum is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in San Diego, California, with 222 students. It is part of the Museum District, which is ranked 293 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Museum outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across most grade levels, with a 2023-2024 ELA proficiency rate of 54.41% compared to the state's 47.04%, and a Mathematics proficiency rate of 49.25% compared to the state's 35.54%. However, the school's performance for White and female students is weaker than the state average. Additionally, Museum has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.9% in 2022-2023, which is higher than nearby traditional public schools like Birney Elementary (16.5%) and Grant K-8 (22.7%).

While Museum outperforms the nearby Old Town Academy K-8 Charter in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency, it lags behind some of the higher-performing traditional public schools in the area, such as Birney Elementary and Grant K-8. This suggests that the school may have room for improvement to reach the level of the top-performing schools in the region.

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.
