Summary:

While the school stands out as the sole educational option in this area, its performance and student outcomes raise significant concerns.

Charlton Heston Academy's student population is predominantly White (93.87%), indicating a lack of diversity within the school community.

Additionally, the school has high rates of chronic absenteeism (36.4%) and dropout (18.6%), which may be contributing to the overall underperformance.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student ($12,280), the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (85.14%) suggests that the school may be facing resource challenges in addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of Charlton Heston Academy, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for the community.
