Ecademy

Summary:

Ecademy is an alternative public virtual school located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 952 students. While part of the Albuquerque school district, which is ranked 89 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, Ecademy's performance data suggests some unique challenges.

Ecademy's 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 63.8% to 76.7% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average. Additionally, the school's test scores are significantly lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 19% of Ecademy students were proficient or better in science, compared to 35% in Albuquerque and 36% statewide. Interestingly, Ecademy has seen a significant decrease in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 59.93% in 2021-2022 to 23.74% in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby alternative schools, such as Continuation School, Native American Community Academy, and Eldorado High, Ecademy's performance is generally lower in terms of graduation rates, test scores, and free/reduced lunch rates. These findings suggest that Ecademy may face unique challenges as an alternative virtual school, and there are opportunities for improvement in areas such as student engagement, access to resources, and targeted interventions to support student learning.

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.
