Dual Immersion Academy School

Summary:

Dual Immersion Academy School is an elementary school in Grand Junction, Colorado, serving around 300 students in grades PK-5. The school stands out for its diverse student population, with a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to nearby schools, which tend to have a majority white student population.

While Dual Immersion Academy School's overall academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is generally lower than the nearby schools, especially in math, the school's performance for Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is relatively stronger compared to the district and state averages. This suggests the school may be effectively supporting these student subgroups. However, the school's academic performance has fluctuated over the years, indicating challenges in maintaining consistent achievement. Factors such as the higher percentage of students from low-income families and the higher student-teacher ratio at Dual Immersion Academy School may be contributing to its lower performance compared to the nearby schools, such as Broadway Elementary, Scenic Elementary, and New Emerson School at Columbus, which consistently outperform Dual Immersion Academy School.

Overall, Dual Immersion Academy School's diverse student population and its relatively stronger performance for certain subgroups are notable strengths, but the school faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement. Examining the practices of the higher-performing nearby schools and addressing the school's unique needs, such as socioeconomic factors and student-teacher ratio, could be valuable strategies for improving Dual Immersion Academy School's overall performance within the Mesa County Valley School District No. 51.

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.
