Fortune

Summary:

Fortune is an alternative public charter school located in Sacramento, CA that serves grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 1,866 students. It is part of the Fortune District.

Fortune faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.5% and lower test scores compared to the state average, particularly in Math and Science. However, the school has a relatively strong 88.0% four-year graduation rate, though its dropout rate of 12.0% is also higher than nearby schools. Fortune serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 72.94% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Compared to other alternative schools in the area, Visions In Education has stronger test scores and lower chronic absenteeism, while California Innovative Career Academy faces significant challenges with extremely low graduation rates and high dropout rates.

The diverse range of performance and challenges faced by alternative education providers in the region is highlighted by the comparisons to nearby schools. While Fortune's relatively strong graduation rate suggests it is providing valuable educational opportunities, the school's high chronic absenteeism and lower test scores compared to the state indicate areas for potential improvement. Examining the successes and struggles of other alternative schools in the area, such as the higher-performing Las Flores High (Alternative), may offer insights to help Fortune better support its students and address its challenges.

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.
