Malcolm X Academy

Summary:

Malcolm X Academy is an elementary school located in San Francisco, California, serving 102 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the San Francisco Unified School District, which is ranked 651 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Despite being part of the San Francisco Unified School District, Malcolm X Academy is struggling significantly compared to nearby schools. The school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 75.4%, which is much higher than the rates at Taylor Elementary (22.9%), King Elementary (24.9%), and Revere Elementary (47.9%). Additionally, the school's test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages, with only 12.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 8.33% proficient or better in mathematics.

The high rates of chronic absenteeism and low test scores at Malcolm X Academy may be linked to the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 81.13% to 92.86% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these challenges will require targeted interventions and support to improve attendance, provide additional academic resources, and engage with the local community.

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.
