Growth Public

Q: Is Growth Public a good school?

Growth Public ranks 2909 th of 5862 California elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Growth Public is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Sacramento, CA, with 278 students. The school is part of the Growth Public District, which is ranked 749 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating. However, Growth Public's statewide ranking has declined over the past 3 years, going from 4420 out of 5883 California elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 2909 out of 5862 in 2023-2024, though its rating has remained at 3 stars.

Growth Public appears to be a struggling school, with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.7% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average of 18.1%. The school's test scores are also generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 44.29% of students proficient or better in ELA and 30.5% in math at the end-of-course level, compared to the state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively. Additionally, Growth Public has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.74% in 2020-2021 to 57.91% in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Del Dayo Elementary, which is 1.98 miles away, Growth Public performs worse in terms of test scores, chronic absenteeism, and free/reduced lunch rates. The school's performance is particularly low for female students, Hispanic students, and low socioeconomic status students, who all rank in the bottom 40-50% of California elementary schools in their respective categories. Overall, Growth Public appears to be a struggling school that is underperforming compared to both state averages and nearby schools, and the school and district should address these areas of concern to improve student outcomes.

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.
