Global Learning Charter

Summary:

Global Learning Charter is a public charter elementary school serving 429 students in grades K-8 in Visalia, CA, which is part of the Visalia Unified school district.

While Global Learning Charter has a smaller student-teacher ratio of 21.2 compared to nearby schools, it faces significant challenges. The school has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.5% in 2018-2019 to 37.4% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the district and state averages as well as nearby schools like Conyer Elementary (28.6%), Riverway Elementary (20.2%), and Shannon Ranch Elementary (15.9%). Additionally, Global Learning Charter consistently underperforms the district and state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 34.27% of students proficient or better in ELA and 17.81% in Mathematics, compared to 43.55% and 27.98% for the district, respectively.

The school also serves a predominantly low-income population, with 81.12% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than nearby schools. While the challenges faced by Global Learning Charter are significant, the school's charter status and smaller student-teacher ratio suggest that it may have the flexibility and resources to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes. Collaboration with higher-performing nearby schools, such as Shannon Ranch Elementary and Manuel F. Hernandez, could also provide valuable insights and best practices to help address the school's performance gaps.

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.
