Sierra Preparatory Academy

Summary:

Sierra Preparatory Academy is an elementary school located in Santa Ana, California, serving 742 students in grades K-8. Unfortunately, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the Santa Ana Unified School District and the state of California in academic assessments.

In the 2023-2024 school year, only 16.98% of Sierra Preparatory Academy students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 30.96% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates were even lower, with only 9.27% of Sierra Preparatory Academy students being proficient or better, compared to 21.03% for the district and 35.54% for the state. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.9% in 2017-2018 to 29.0% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district's rate of 23.6%.

When comparing Sierra Preparatory Academy to nearby schools, such as Roosevelt Walker Academy and Wallace R. Davis Elementary, it becomes evident that Sierra Preparatory Academy is underperforming. These nearby schools demonstrate significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Sierra Preparatory Academy (80.19% in 2022-2023) suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school. Addressing the school's chronic absenteeism, low proficiency rates, and disparities in subgroup performance should be a priority for the Santa Ana Unified school district to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
