Achieve Academy

Q: Is Achieve Academy a good school?

Achieve Academy ranks 4345 th of 5862 California elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Achieve Academy is a public charter elementary school in Oakland, California, serving 557 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Achieve Academy District, which is ranked 1270 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Achieve Academy's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were around 20-30 percentage points lower than the state averages. The school's performance is particularly weak in Science, with only 11.22% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 30.7%. Achieve Academy's performance is also below that of nearby charter schools like Lazear Charter Academy and Ascend, which have higher proficiency rates in most subject areas. However, the school performs relatively better for English Language Learner students, ranking in the top 40% of California elementary schools in this category.

Achieve Academy faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.1% and a high-needs student population, with 88.33% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's performance is generally lower than nearby charter schools, it still outperforms some of the traditional public schools in the area, such as Garfield Elementary and Manzanita Community Elementary. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, additional resources, and a focus on improving attendance and engagement among the school's high-needs student population.

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.
