Summary:
Freire Charter School is the sole high school located within the Freire Charter School Wilmington district. While the school serves a predominantly African American student population, its academic performance and other key metrics suggest significant challenges compared to state averages.
Freire Charter School has consistently underperformed on standardized tests, with only 16.28% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 40.51%. The school's four-year graduation rate of 80.5% is also lower than the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 50.5% is alarmingly high. Despite these academic struggles, the school's spending per student of $13,729 is higher than the state average.
The data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges faced by Freire Charter School. Improving academic performance, increasing graduation rates, and reducing chronic absenteeism should be key priorities for the school and the district. Additionally, the significant racial disparities in the student population warrant further investigation to ensure equitable access to educational opportunities for all students within the Freire Charter School Wilmington district.
