Tomorrow's Leadership Collaborative (TLC) Charter

Summary:

Tomorrow's Leadership Collaborative (TLC) Charter is an elementary school in Orange, CA that serves 187 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Tomorrow's Leadership Collaborative (TLC) Charter District, which is ranked 1158 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating.

TLC Charter has several key metrics that set it apart from other schools in the area. It has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 29.9% compared to the state average of 16.1%. Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently lower than state and nearby school averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 31.67% of TLC Charter students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 47.04%. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.72% to 63.64% over the past three years, which is higher than nearby schools. Finally, TLC Charter has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.3 to 23.3 over the past three years, which is higher than the nearby schools.

The data suggests that TLC Charter is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's consistent underperformance compared to the state and nearby schools, such as Sycamore Elementary, West Orange Elementary, and McPherson Magnet, indicates that there may be opportunities for TLC Charter to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools. Addressing chronic absenteeism, implementing more effective instructional strategies, and providing additional support and resources for students from low-income backgrounds could be potential areas for improvement at TLC Charter.

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.
