Summary:
Wake Forest Charter Academy is the sole elementary school serving students in grades K-8 in the Wake Forest, North Carolina area. The school's diverse student population and below-average academic performance, as measured by state standardized test scores, present both challenges and opportunities for the school and its community.
With a student body that is 38.68% White, 23.11% African American, 13.99% Hispanic, and 6.29% Asian, Wake Forest Charter Academy serves a diverse range of students. However, the school's academic performance has declined in recent years, with proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science falling below the North Carolina state averages across most grade levels. The school's Wake Forest Charter Academy district ranking has also dropped from 209th out of 1,514 North Carolina elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 763rd out of 1,505 in 2023-2024.
Despite these challenges, the school's diverse student population and unique grade configuration from kindergarten through 8th grade present opportunities for innovative approaches to teaching and learning. Additionally, the school's 41.51% free/reduced lunch rate suggests that many students come from lower-income households, which may require additional resources and support to address socioeconomic factors that can impact academic achievement. As the sole elementary school in the area, Wake Forest Charter Academy has the potential to make a significant impact on the educational outcomes of its students and the broader community.
