Quincy Innovation Academy

Q: Is Quincy Innovation Academy a good school?

Quincy Innovation Academy ranks 337 th of 535 Washington alternative schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Quincy Innovation Academy is a small, alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in Quincy, Washington, which is part of the Quincy School District. With a student population of around 50, the school has a significantly higher Hispanic student enrollment compared to the surrounding area, reaching 82% in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite the school's high per-student spending, Quincy Innovation Academy has struggled academically, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (33.87%) and Math (11.29%) well below the district and state averages. The school's graduation rate is also a concern, at just 36.3% in 2022-2023, and it has experienced high dropout rates, reaching 31.8% in the same year. These challenges are compounded by the school's high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which reached 80% in 2022-2023.

Interestingly, another alternative school in the same district, Quincy Innovation Academy Big Picture, has slightly better academic performance and lower free/reduced lunch rates compared to Quincy Innovation Academy, but still underperforms the district and state averages. This suggests that the issues facing Quincy Innovation Academy may be systemic within the district, and addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance will be crucial for improving outcomes for its students.

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.
