Community School of Digital and Visual A


Summary:

The Community School of Digital & Visual Art is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in Durham, North Carolina. This school faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, with consistently low test scores across all grade levels and subjects, a predominantly African American student population (84.33%), and an extremely high percentage of students (97.7%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

The school's test scores are well below the state averages, with only 25% of 3rd graders proficient in Math compared to the state's 62.7%. Additionally, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The lack of racial diversity and the high poverty levels among the student population may be contributing factors to the school's academic struggles.

Despite the school's challenges, it does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5 to 1, which is generally considered a positive indicator for student support and engagement. However, the school's overall performance and ranking suggest that it may require targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its student population and improve academic outcomes.
