Summary:
Universal Creighton Charter School is the sole elementary school located in the Universal Creighton Charter School District, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 713 students. The school's academic performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1129 out of 1534 schools in 2022-2023 to 1175 out of 1534 in 2021-2022. Proficiency rates in core subjects like Math, Science, and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the statewide averages, suggesting the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
Despite the school's lower academic performance, it spends a relatively high amount per student ($18,173) compared to the state average. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income population, with over 84% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty level can present additional challenges in terms of educational outcomes. The school's student-teacher ratio of 15.5 to 1 suggests relatively small class sizes, but this alone does not seem to be translating into better academic results.
Overall, the data indicates that Universal Creighton Charter School is facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with declining statewide rankings and lower-than-average proficiency rates in core subjects. The school's high spending per student and high poverty levels highlight the need for a deeper examination of the factors contributing to these issues and the development of targeted strategies to improve educational outcomes for the students.
