Summary:
Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School is the sole elementary school located in the Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School District in Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 547 students.
This school stands out for its overwhelmingly Hispanic student population (97.26%), which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's academic performance is a major concern, with proficiency rates on the MCA-III assessments falling far below state averages in Math (4.79% vs. 45.47%), Reading (15.02% vs. 49.85%), and Science (4.59% vs. 39.56%). The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of elementary schools in Minnesota over the past 3 years, with a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, a very high percentage (85.92%) of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage among the student population.
The data on Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School suggests significant academic challenges and achievement gaps, with little progress made in improving student outcomes over time. Targeted strategies to address the school's socioeconomic and racial disparities, as well as to enhance teaching and learning, will be critical to driving meaningful improvements for the students and community served by this school.
