Choice Academy

Summary:

Choice Academy is a public high school located in Kingston, Washington, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 70 students. It is part of the North Kitsap School District, which is ranked 60 out of 247 school districts in Washington and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Choice Academy has a higher percentage of White students (70%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations, its academic performance lags behind nearby high schools like North Kitsap High School and Kingston High School. Choice Academy's test scores in English Language Arts and Science are significantly lower than the district and state averages, and the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 107 out of 455 high schools in 2020-2021 to 358 out of 442 high schools in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school has a much higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 60%, compared to the nearby schools.

The inconsistencies in Choice Academy's student-teacher ratio and fluctuations in funding may be contributing factors to the school's academic challenges. While the specific reasons for the school's underperformance are not entirely clear, the data suggests that Choice Academy may need to implement targeted strategies and interventions to support student success and improve its educational outcomes, especially in comparison to the surrounding high schools in the North Kitsap School District.

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.
