Summary:
The State Specialty Schools II- Cirrus Charter Academy district in Georgia contains a single elementary school, Cirrus Charter Academy, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of elementary schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing well below the state average.
Cirrus Charter Academy's test scores are significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 6% to 27.8%, compared to the state averages of 37% to 48.2%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 4.3% to 24.4%, compared to state averages of 34.7% to 48.1%. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.
The school's per-student spending of $9,807 in the 2018-2019 school year is slightly below the state average, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 20.5 to 1, which is slightly higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the school may be operating with limited resources, which could be contributing to its poor performance. Given the school's persistent underperformance, it would be important to investigate the root causes and implement targeted interventions to address the specific challenges faced by Cirrus Charter Academy and its students.
