La Cima Charter School


Summary:

La Cima Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-5 in the La Cima Charter School district, which is ranked 639 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. With a total enrollment of 199 students, the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 98.49% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

The school's academic performance on New York State Assessments is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) below the state average for grades 3-5, but above the state average in Math for the same grades in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's 5th-grade proficiency rate in Science is also below the state average. Over the past few years, the school's performance has fluctuated, with some improvements and declines in proficiency rates.

Despite the challenges, La Cima Charter School allocates significant resources to support its students, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.7 and a per-student spending of $21,359 for the 2022-2023 school year. However, the mixed academic performance suggests that the school may need to evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation and explore ways to optimize the use of these resources to drive better student outcomes, particularly in the areas of ELA and Science.
