Summary:

Adelante Charter is a public charter elementary school located in Santa Barbara, California, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 297 students. The school is part of the Adelante Charter District, which is ranked 715 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Adelante Charter faces significant challenges in academic performance, particularly in comparison to nearby high-performing schools like Montecito Union and Cold Spring Elementary. The school's performance is generally below the state average in core subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 33.33% to 45% in English Language Arts/Literacy and 20% to 59.52% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 42.8% to 47.04% and 34.31% to 45.64%, respectively. Additionally, the school's performance on the California Science Assessment (CAST) and Spanish Language Arts assessment (CSA) is also below the state average.

Adelante Charter's high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.3% in 2022-2023 and high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41% to 72.39% over the past three school years, suggest that the school may need to address socioeconomic and attendance-related factors that could be impacting student learning. To improve academic outcomes, the school may need to implement targeted interventions, provide professional development for teachers, and develop strategies to engage families and address the unique needs of 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.
