Travis Independent Study

Summary:

Travis Independent Study is a small alternative public school in Fairfield, California, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade with a total enrollment of just 20 students. The school is part of the Fairfield-Suisun Unified school district, which is ranked 622 out of 1,560 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Travis Independent Study has a diverse student population, with a mix of White (25%), Hispanic (30%), Asian (10%), African American (10%), and students of two or more races (20%). However, the school faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 38.2% to 57.9% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average and nearby schools like Prospects High (Alternative) and Napa County Community. Academically, the school outperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts/Literacy but lags behind in Mathematics and Science.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 18.03% to 60%, indicates that Travis Independent Study serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. Additionally, the student-teacher ratio has increased from 23.4 in 2020-2021 to 39.2 in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than nearby alternative schools like Elite Public and Napa Valley Independent Studies. These factors suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the students at Travis Independent Study.

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.
