Summary:

Achieve Charter School of Chico is a public charter elementary school serving 225 students in grades K-8 in Chico, California. The school is part of the Achieve Charter School of Chico District, which is ranked 679 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Achieve Charter School of Chico has a mixed academic performance, with strengths in certain grade levels and subject areas, but weaknesses in others, particularly in middle school ELA and across all grade levels in mathematics. The school's performance for low-socioeconomic status (SES) students is a bright spot, ranking in the top 20% of California elementary schools in 2022-2023. However, the school struggles to support the academic achievement of white students and male students, ranking in the bottom 30% of California elementary schools for these subgroups. Chronic absenteeism is also an area for improvement, as the school's rate of 8.4% is higher than the top-performing Sierra View Elementary school in the area.

Compared to nearby schools, Achieve Charter School of Chico performs better than some, such as McManus (John A.) Elementary and Little Chico Creek Elementary, in several subject areas and grade levels. However, it lags behind the top-performing schools in the area, such as Sierra View Elementary and Parkview Elementary, which consistently outperform Achieve Charter School of Chico and the state average.

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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
