Alianza Charter

Summary:

Alianza Charter is a public charter elementary school serving 640 students in grades K-8 in Watsonville, California, which is part of the Pajaro Valley Unified School District. This school stands out for its strong academic performance, outpacing the district and state in several key test score metrics across English language arts, math, science, and Spanish language arts.

Alianza Charter's student subgroups, including female, Hispanic, and English language learner students, also perform well compared to the district and state averages. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has increased significantly in recent years, from 6.4% in 2017-2018 to 30.3% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern. Alianza Charter also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of around 22-23 students per teacher, which is higher than some nearby traditional public schools like Starlight Elementary and Calabasas Elementary.

Interestingly, Watsonville Charter School of the Arts, another public charter school located very close to Alianza Charter, often outperforms Alianza in test scores and student group performance. Overall, Alianza Charter appears to be a relatively high-performing school within the Pajaro Valley Unified School District, but the school should address its increasing chronic absenteeism and high student-teacher ratio to continue improving student 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.
