Wyandotte Academy

Summary:

Wyandotte Academy is an elementary school in Oroville, California, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. Despite being part of the Oroville City Elementary District, which is ranked 1347 out of 1568 districts in the state, Wyandotte Academy has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of California elementary schools.

The school's key challenges include significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state averages, as well as consistently lower test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the most recent school year, only 27.05% of Wyandotte Academy students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 22.2% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Asian, Hispanic, and White students, as well as students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, Ophir Elementary, Stanford Avenue Elementary, and STREAM Charter, which are located relatively close to Wyandotte Academy, generally outperform the school on key metrics, suggesting that the challenges faced by Wyandotte Academy may be specific to the school itself rather than the broader geographic area. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and consistently low test scores at Wyandotte Academy indicate that the school may be facing significant challenges in areas such as student engagement, teacher quality, and resource allocation, which could be addressed through targeted interventions and support.

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.
