Temecula International Academy

Q: Is Temecula International Academy a good school?

Temecula International Academy ranks 1685 th of 5862 California elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Temecula International Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 308 students in grades K-8 in Temecula, CA. The school is part of the Temecula International Academy District, which is ranked 312 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Temecula International Academy consistently outperforms the state average in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school had 58.5% proficiency in ELA/Literacy End of Course compared to the state average of 47.04%, and 51.02% proficiency in Mathematics End of Course compared to 35.54% statewide. The school also performs particularly well for its male and Hispanic student populations, ranking 1,592 out of 5,636 California elementary schools for male students and 639 out of 5,098 for Hispanic students. However, the school's white student population has lower rankings, with a 2-star rating in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of this subgroup.

Temecula International Academy generally outperforms the nearby traditional public schools in the Temecula Valley Unified and Murrieta Valley Unified districts, particularly in test scores and student-teacher ratios. However, the school has relatively low rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 12.86% to 18.89% over the past few years, which is significantly lower than the nearby Temecula Elementary (64.66%) and Vail Elementary (50.19%), suggesting Temecula International Academy serves a more affluent student population. This could be an area for further investigation and potential outreach efforts to ensure equitable access.

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.
