Ridge Park Charter Academy

Summary:

Ridge Park Charter Academy is an elementary school serving students from kindergarten to 8th grade in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with a diverse student population. The school faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population with a high percentage of low-socioeconomic status.

Academically, Ridge Park Charter Academy's performance, as measured by state tests, is generally below the state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. However, the school performs relatively well in certain subgroups, such as African American and English Language Learner students, ranking in the top 30-70 schools in the state for these subgroups. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also increased significantly, from 16.6% in 2019-2020 to 45.1% in 2021-2022, which likely impacts its academic performance. Despite these challenges, the school's spending per student has increased, reaching $14,634 in the 2022-2023 school year, and it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which could be a strength in providing more individualized attention to students.

When compared to nearby schools, Ridge Park Charter Academy generally performs better than other schools in the Grand Rapids Public Schools district, such as KenOSha Park Elementary, Mulick Park Elementary, and Sherwood Global Studies Academy. However, it lags behind the high-performing schools in the East Grand Rapids Public Schools district, such as Lakeside School and Breton Downs School.

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.
