Monument Charter Academy

Summary:

Monument Charter Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 704 students in grades PK-5 in Monument, Colorado, which is part of the highly-ranked Lewis-Palmer Consolidated School District No. 38.

While Monument Charter Academy is part of a top-performing school district, its own academic performance lags behind many of the nearby traditional public schools. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (83.66%) compared to surrounding schools, and its test scores, while above the state average, fall short of the district's overall performance. Monument Charter Academy's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 322nd and 517th out of 933-943 Colorado elementary schools, earning 2-3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. This suggests there may be achievement gaps within the student population, as the school ranks lower for female, male, and white students compared to its overall ranking.

Another interesting finding is that Monument Charter Academy has a very low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (4.4%), significantly lower than the surrounding schools, which range from 10.69% to 25%. This, combined with the school's higher student-teacher ratio of 20.1 compared to 12.5 to 18 in nearby schools, suggests the charter school may serve a more affluent student population and have fewer resources per student than its traditional public school counterparts in the highly-ranked Lewis-Palmer Consolidated School District No. 38.

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.
