Two Roads Charter School

Summary:

Two Roads Charter School is an alternative public charter school serving grades PK-12 with 331 students in Arvada, Colorado, which is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1.

While Two Roads Charter School has a higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to the district and state averages, its academic performance lags behind. The school consistently underperforms the district and state in CMAS/PSAT/SAT assessments, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (29.7%) and Math (22.5%) significantly lower than the district (51.8% and 40.7%) and state (44.1% and 34.2%) averages. The school's performance is particularly low in CMAS Science, with only 11.5% of 8th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the district (40.7%) and state (32.2%) averages. Nearby charter schools, such as Compass Montessori - Golden Charter School and Jefferson Academy, outperform Two Roads Charter School in academic assessments and have better student-teacher ratios.

The school has also experienced a decrease in the percentage of non-white students, from 19.1% in 2020-2021 to 27.63% in 2022-2023, suggesting a need to investigate the underlying factors. Additionally, the lack of data on free and reduced-price lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the school's ability to serve economically disadvantaged students effectively. The school's leadership and the district should closely examine the root causes of these issues and develop a strategic plan to address them, with a focus on improving student outcomes and ensuring equitable access to high-quality education.

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.
