Tehachapi Independent Learning Academy

Summary:

Tehachapi Independent Learning Academy is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in Tehachapi, California, with 70 students enrolled. The school faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate, lower test scores compared to nearby schools and the state, and a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families.

Tehachapi Independent Learning Academy had a chronic absenteeism rate of 38.2% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the nearby Cummings Valley Elementary (29.5%), Golden Hills Elementary (40.4%), and Tompkins Elementary (35.4%). The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were also below the Tehachapi Unified School District and the state of California averages. Additionally, the school had a relatively high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 32.86%, compared to the nearby schools.

Despite its smaller size and lower student-teacher ratio of 11.5, Tehachapi Independent Learning Academy does not appear to be outperforming the larger nearby schools. This suggests that factors beyond just school size and staffing ratios may be influencing the school's academic outcomes. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past few years, indicating that it is struggling to keep pace with other elementary schools in the state. Addressing these challenges may require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions to improve attendance and academic performance, as well as addressing the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on student success.

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.
