Summary:
Alma del Mar Charter School is the sole elementary school located within the Alma del Mar Charter School (District) in Massachusetts. This school serves students from grades K-8 and has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past three years.
Alma del Mar Charter School has struggled with academic performance, with proficiency rates on MCAS assessments significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending, its academic outcomes remain a concern, suggesting the need for a closer examination of the school's educational practices and resource allocation.
While the school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic and African American students, the data does not indicate a direct correlation between the school's racial demographics and its academic performance. The school's challenges appear to be more systemic, requiring a comprehensive review and targeted interventions to improve student learning and achievement across all demographics.
