Victory College Prep

Summary:

Victory College Prep is an alternative public charter school serving 1,200 students in grades K-12 in the diverse Indianapolis, IN community, with a student population that is 61.53% African American, 20.29% Hispanic, and 11.97% White.

While Victory College Prep has seen a steady increase in its four-year graduation rate, reaching 100% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average of around 80%, the school faces challenges in other areas. Its test scores in English Language Arts and Math are lower than the state averages, with only 32.98% of students proficient or better in ELA and 37.47% in Math, compared to the state's 40-50% range. Additionally, Victory College Prep has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.1%, which is higher than the state average. Interestingly, when compared to nearby schools serving similar student populations, such as IN School for the Blind & Vis Imprd and IN Math & Science Academy - North, Victory College Prep's academic performance lags behind, despite spending a relatively high amount of $12,704 per student in 2021-2022.

The high percentage of students (over 90%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch at Victory College Prep indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may be contributing to the school's challenges. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.1 in 2022-2023 suggests that class size may not be the primary driver of the academic performance. The school's leadership may need to examine how resources are being utilized and address the root causes of the high chronic absenteeism rate to improve student outcomes.

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.
