Aurora Academy Charter School

Summary:

Aurora Academy Charter School is a public charter elementary school serving 512 students in grades K-8 in Aurora, Colorado, which is part of the Aurora Joint District No. 28. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American (46.29%) and Hispanic (31.05%) students, and consistently performs in the middle range of Colorado elementary schools with a 3-star rating.

One of the key strengths of Aurora Academy Charter School is its strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, where the school outperforms the surrounding district and the state of Colorado. For example, the school's ELA proficiency rates range from 49.1% to 62.5% across grade levels, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school also excels in serving specific student subgroups, such as African American and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking among the top elementary schools in the state for these populations. Additionally, Aurora Academy Charter School maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.6 to 12.6 over the past three years, which is lower than the nearby schools in the same district.

While Aurora Academy Charter School stands out as a relatively high-performing school within the Aurora Joint District No. 28, it still lags behind the top-performing schools in the neighboring Cherry Creek School District No. 5, such as Challenge School. However, the school's diverse student population and focus on serving underprivileged communities are notable aspects of its profile, and it continues to be a strong choice for families in the Aurora area.

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.

This is our first year at AACS and so far I am very delighted. This school ranks way higher than my neighborhood school and I am more than willing to make the 25 minute drive to take my son there. He also tells me he likes this school better than his last school. So happy to have my son enrolled here. Close Quote

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.
