Foundation Academy Charter School

Summary:

Foundation Academy Charter School is an alternative public charter school serving grades K-12 in Trenton, NJ, with an enrollment of 1,044 students. Trenton is known to have some of the lowest-performing schools in the state, but Foundation Academy has consistently achieved impressive results, particularly in terms of high graduation rates and low dropout rates.

Despite serving a high-need student population, with 73.08% to 80.22% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Foundation Academy has maintained four-year graduation rates ranging from 90.9% to 95.7% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's dropout rates have also been very low, ranging from 0.0% to 1.2%. While the school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with stronger results in English Language Arts but weaker performance in mathematics, these outcomes are still better than many other schools in the Trenton area.

Interestingly, Foundation Academy appears to be achieving these strong results with fewer resources compared to the nearby Westampton Campus school, which has a much lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending. This suggests that Foundation Academy is effectively allocating its resources and implementing effective teaching practices to support its students' success.

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.
