Alma del Mar Charter School

Summary:

Alma del Mar Charter School is a public charter school serving 1,038 students in grades K-8 in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 20.23% White, 14.16% African American, 60.31% Hispanic, 0.48% Asian, 0.48% Native American, and 4.34% two or more races.

Academically, Alma del Mar Charter School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past several years, with only 25.41% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 27.5% proficient or better in Mathematics across all grades in 2023-2024. However, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, is relatively stronger compared to the state average. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.6 to 13 students per teacher, and it spends approximately $16,668 per student, which is higher than the nearby New Bedford public schools.

While Alma del Mar Charter School may have stronger academic performance compared to its local peers in New Bedford, it still struggles to achieve high performance relative to the state as a whole. This suggests that the school's higher spending per student and support for specific student subgroups may not be the sole determinants of academic success, and there may be opportunities for further improvement in its educational practices.

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.

I can honestly say I love Alma del Mar , My children are reading far above grade level, have learned string instruments , have PE Art and Music 3x a week and have wonderful afterschool activities . Every teacher, staff member from the director of the school to the receptionist knows my children and cares about their experience at Alma. The teachers do home visits, they are available by phone every day until 8 pm. They are dedicated and determioned that every child succeed beyond expectaions. Close Quote

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.
