Sky Ranch Academy

Q: Is Sky Ranch Academy a good school?

Sky Ranch Academy ranks 663 rd of 943 Colorado elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Sky Ranch Academy is a public charter elementary school serving approximately 500 students in grades K-7 in Aurora, Colorado, which is part of the Aurora Joint District No. 28. The school's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages, particularly in science and math.

Sky Ranch Academy's overall performance on the CMAS assessments is concerning, with only 34.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 18.8% proficient or better in math across all grades. The school's science proficiency rate is even lower, at just 9.5% of 5th-grade students. Compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Side Creek Elementary, Aurora Frontier K-8, and Clyde Miller K-8, Sky Ranch Academy's performance is significantly lower across all subjects and grade levels.

However, Sky Ranch Academy does outperform some schools in the School District No. 1, such as Green Valley Elementary and Florida Pitt-Waller Ece-8 School, which have even lower proficiency rates. The school with the highest performance, Murphy Creek K-8 School, is located only 4 miles away, suggesting that geographic proximity does not necessarily translate to similar academic outcomes.

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.
