Summary:
The D.E.L.T.A. STEAM Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the State Specialty Schools II- D.E.L.T.A. STEAM Academy district in Georgia. The school's performance has been mixed, with stronger proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) compared to Mathematics and Science.
D.E.L.T.A. STEAM Academy's ELA proficiency rates ranged from 41.5% to 48.6%, generally higher than the state average. However, the school's Mathematics proficiency rates were lower, ranging from 17.5% to 43.4%, and its 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 24.2% was significantly below the state average of 41.7%. The school's ranking has also declined from 580 out of 1,242 Georgia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 592 out of 1,248 in 2023-2024, indicating a potential performance decline.
Despite these challenges, D.E.L.T.A. STEAM Academy serves a relatively affluent student population, with a low free/reduced lunch rate of 1.03%. The school's small size of 292 students may contribute to its academic performance, but it could also limit the diversity of educational opportunities and resources available to students. Addressing the school's weaknesses in Mathematics and Science, while continuing to build on its ELA strengths, will be crucial for ensuring all students receive a well-rounded education.
