Kids Unlimited Academy

Summary:

Kids Unlimited Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Medford, Oregon, part of the Medford School District 549C, which is ranked 66 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. With 513 students, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the recent school years.

Kids Unlimited Academy significantly underperforms the Medford School District and the state of Oregon in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in mathematics and science. The school serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 79.14% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to the district's average of around 70-75%. Additionally, the school has a higher percentage of Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students, who perform better than the overall student population but still lag behind their peers in the district and state.

Despite the overall underperformance, Kids Unlimited Academy's Hispanic and ELL students perform better than the school's overall student population, and the school has a 5-star rating for Migrant students in 2023-2024. However, the school's lower per-student spending of $7,923 in 2021-2022, compared to the district's average of around $17,000-$20,000, and higher student-teacher ratio of 18.3 students per teacher in 2022-2023, compared to the district's range of 14.6 to 19.8, may contribute to the school's challenges in providing the necessary support and interventions for its diverse student population.

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.
