Vista Charter Academy

Summary:

Vista Charter Academy is an elementary school in Grand Rapids, Michigan, serving students from kindergarten to 8th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students and a significant percentage of African American students.

Vista Charter Academy faces several challenges, including a high and increasing chronic absenteeism rate, below-average academic performance compared to state averages, and uneven outcomes across different student subgroups. While the school's spending per student is higher than the state average, this has not yet translated into significantly improved student outcomes. Interestingly, the school's African American and Hispanic students perform better than the overall school average, suggesting the school may be implementing effective strategies to support these student populations.

Comparing Vista Charter Academy to nearby schools, such as Sherwood Global Studies Academy, Bowen Elementary, and North Godwin Elementary School, reveals that the challenges faced by Vista Charter Academy are not unique. Many of the nearby schools also struggle with low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and serving student populations with significant socioeconomic challenges, suggesting a need for a more comprehensive, community-wide approach to address the educational challenges in the area.

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.
