Pinnacles Prep Charter School

Summary:

Pinnacles Prep Charter School is a middle school located in Wenatchee, Washington, serving grades 6-9 with a total enrollment of 168 students. The school has a diverse student population, with 61.31% White and 34.52% Hispanic students. However, Pinnacles Prep's academic performance lags behind nearby traditional public schools, such as Cashmere Middle School, which has significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math.

Pinnacles Prep's proficiency rates in ELA and Math are generally lower than the state averages, with 47.2% proficient in ELA and 35.15% proficient in Math for all grades in 2023-2024. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students, Hispanic students, and low-socioeconomic status students, is also lower than the state averages and the nearby schools. Pinnacles Prep's statewide ranking has declined from 263 out of 535 Washington middle schools in 2023-2024 to 335 out of 539 in 2022-2023, with a corresponding drop in its SchoolDigger rating from 3 stars to 2 stars.

Pinnacles Prep has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 50.6% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the nearby Cashmere Middle School. The significant performance gaps between Pinnacles Prep's student subgroups and the state averages, as well as the nearby schools, suggest that the school may need to focus on addressing the specific needs of these underperforming groups. Additionally, the stark contrast in academic performance between Pinnacles Prep and the nearby traditional public schools raises questions about the effectiveness of the charter school model in this particular context.

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.
