Vision Charter Academy K-8

Summary:

Vision Charter Academy K-8 is a public charter school located in Delta, Colorado, serving 172 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the Delta County Joint District No. 50, which is ranked 42 out of 116 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby public schools like Hotchkiss Elementary School, Cedaredge Elementary School, and Olathe Elementary School, Vision Charter Academy K-8 has a significantly higher percentage of white students at 79.65%. However, the school generally underperforms these nearby schools on CMAS test scores, particularly in science and math. In 8th grade science, Vision Charter Academy K-8 scored 16.7% proficient or better, lower than the district (28.6%) and state (32.2%) averages. In math across all grades, the school scored 22.4% proficient or better, below both the district (31%) and state (34.2%) averages.

Another area of concern is the school's higher student-teacher ratio of 17.7, compared to the nearby public schools which range from 15.7 to 19.6 students per teacher. Additionally, Vision Charter Academy K-8 does not have available data on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is an important indicator of the school's socioeconomic status and the challenges its community may face. Overall, the analysis suggests that the school may need to focus on strengthening its curriculum and instructional practices, particularly in science and math, as well as exploring ways to provide more individualized attention and support for its students.

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.
