Mosaics Public School

Q: Is Mosaics Public School a good school?

Mosaics Public School ranks 186 th of 301 Idaho elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mosaics Public School is a public charter elementary school in Caldwell, Idaho, serving 416 students in grades K-7. The school has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to nearby Lewis And Clark Elementary and other Caldwell District schools.

While Mosaics Public School's overall academic performance is slightly below the state average, the school's 4th-grade students excel, with math and ELA proficiency rates higher than the state. Notably, the school's Hispanic students outperform their peers at other schools, ranking 15th out of 58 Idaho elementary schools for this subgroup. However, the school faces challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the increase in free and reduced-price lunch recipients.

Compared to nearby public schools, Mosaics Public School generally performs better, but its overall ranking of 186 out of 301 Idaho elementary schools suggests room for improvement. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending compared to other Caldwell District schools may be contributing factors to its performance challenges. Addressing these areas of concern while leveraging the school's strengths, particularly in supporting its diverse student population, could help Mosaics Public School better serve its community.

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.
