Mission Preparatory

Summary:

Mission Preparatory is a public charter elementary school serving 469 students in grades K-8 in San Francisco, CA. It is part of the Mission Preparatory District, which is ranked 791 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating.

Mission Preparatory generally outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, particularly in 3rd, 5th, and 7th grades. However, its mathematics performance is more mixed, with 3rd grade standing out but other grades lagging behind the state average. Science proficiency is also an area of concern, with 5th and 8th grade scores below the state average. The school performs particularly well with English Language Learner (ELL) and Hispanic students, ranking in the top 15% and top 30% of California elementary schools, respectively, for these subgroups. But its performance with female, male, and low socioeconomic status (SES) students is more average.

Mission Preparatory outperforms the nearby Flynn (Leonard R.) Elementary and Buena Vista/ Horace Mann K-8 schools in both ELA and mathematics proficiency, but lags behind the higher-performing nearby schools like King (Thomas Starr) Elementary and Webster (Daniel) Elementary. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.1% and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.36% to 77.3% over the past three years.

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.
