EnCompass Academy Elementary

Summary:

EnCompass Academy Elementary is a public elementary school in Oakland, California, serving 310 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Oakland Unified School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

EnCompass Academy Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and poor performance for specific student groups. The school's chronic absenteeism rates have ranged from 22.3% to 75.1%, much higher than nearby schools. Its test scores are also consistently lower than the district and state averages, with only 16.67% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 33.09% for Oakland Unified and 47.04% for California. The school's student group rankings are particularly low, especially for African American and English Language Learner students.

While EnCompass Academy Elementary is part of the same district as nearby schools, its performance metrics are significantly lower across the board. For example, ACORN Woodland Elementary, located in the same building, has much higher test scores and a lower chronic absenteeism rate. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch at EnCompass Academy Elementary suggest that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be contributing to the lower academic performance. However, the data also indicates that there is significant room for improvement, and targeted interventions and support could potentially help the school improve its 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.
