Paseo Grande Charter

Q: Is Paseo Grande Charter a good school?

Paseo Grande Charter ranks 1672 nd of 2323 California alternative schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Paseo Grande Charter is a small alternative public charter school in Sacramento, California that serves grades K-12, with only 46 students enrolled. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with over 80% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite its small size, Paseo Grande Charter is struggling across multiple fronts. The school has very low four-year graduation rates, with only 13% of students graduating in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly lower than the nearby Natomas Charter (97.5%) and Heritage Peak Charter (92.2%). Paseo Grande Charter also has a high dropout rate of 26.1%, higher than the nearby Marconi Learning Academy (30.1%) and Highlands Community Charter (89.9%). Additionally, the school has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 54.3%, much higher than the state average and the nearby Westlake Charter (22.1%) and Natomas Charter (7.0%).

Academically, Paseo Grande Charter students perform significantly below the state average in all tested subjects, including English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 11th grade ELA, only 28.57% of Paseo Grande students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 55.73%. These significant performance gaps suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by this school and its 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.
