The Capitol Encore Academy

Summary:

The Capitol Encore Academy is an alternative public charter virtual school located in Fayetteville, North Carolina, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 725 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds.

While The Capitol Encore Academy's test scores are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics, the school performs better in certain subject areas, such as 4th grade mathematics and 5th/8th grade science. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.9 to 15.4, suggests a greater level of individual attention and support for students. However, the school's academic performance appears to be inconsistent across grade levels and subject areas, and it faces challenges related to socioeconomic factors that can impact academic achievement.

Interestingly, the nearby Alpha Academy, another public charter school, outperforms The Capitol Encore Academy in most academic areas, with significantly higher test scores across grade levels and subject areas. This highlights the need for The Capitol Encore Academy to closely examine its instructional practices and identify areas for improvement to better serve its diverse student population. Despite these challenges, the school's focus on serving an alternative student population and its small class sizes suggest there may be opportunities for The Capitol Encore Academy to implement targeted strategies and interventions to improve academic outcomes for its students.

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.
