Monarca Academy

Summary:

Monarca Academy is a public charter high school in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 41 students. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (87.8%) and a high percentage of students (80.49%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a low-income student population.

Monarca Academy faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with only 26.21% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 13.73% proficient or better in Math, compared to state averages of 41.1% and 38.1% for 6th grade, and 41.8% and 33.9% for 7th grade, respectively. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average and most of the nearby schools, such as Herron-Riverside High School, Ben Davis University High School, and Speedway Senior High School, which have higher proficiency rates and better overall performance.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.2, which is lower than most of the nearby schools, Monarca Academy's resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of its predominantly Hispanic student population. Addressing the root causes of absenteeism, providing targeted interventions, and engaging the community could be crucial for improving the school's outcomes and providing a high-quality education for its students.

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.
