Aspire Monarch Academy

Summary:

Aspire Monarch Academy is an elementary public charter school located in Oakland, California, serving 392 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Aspire Monarch Academy District, which is ranked 1466 out of 1568 districts in California and has a rating of 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Aspire Monarch Academy is a consistently low-performing school, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools over the past few years and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance for various student subgroups, such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with low socioeconomic status, is also consistently in the bottom 20-25% of California elementary schools. Particularly concerning is the school's performance for students with disabilities, which ranks in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools. Aspire Monarch Academy's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly below the state averages, with most grades performing in the bottom 20-30% of California elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby Francophone Charter School of Oakland stands out as a higher-performing school, with significantly higher proficiency rates in core subjects and a much lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to Aspire Monarch Academy and other nearby schools. Additionally, Aspire Monarch Academy has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 21.6 to 27.4 over the past few years, which may be a contributing factor to the school's underperformance. Addressing these issues and learning from the success of higher-performing nearby schools could be crucial steps in improving Aspire Monarch Academy's overall performance and outcomes.

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.
