Summary:
The Palm Lane Elementary Charter District contains a single elementary school, Palm Lane Global Academy, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 273 students. The school faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, with consistently low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and a predominantly low-income student population.
Palm Lane Global Academy's academic performance, as measured by standardized tests, is well below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's proficiency rates range from 14.71% to 38.89% in ELA, 0% to 22.73% in Mathematics, and just 8.57% in the CAST Science assessment, all of which are substantially lower than the state averages. This suggests the school is struggling to provide effective instruction and support to its students.
Additionally, the school faces high chronic absenteeism, with 46.0% of students missing a significant amount of school, which is likely contributing to the poor academic outcomes. The school also serves a predominantly Hispanic (86.81%) and low-income (84.25% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) student population, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges that may require targeted interventions and support. Addressing these issues should be a priority for the school and the district to improve student learning and achievement.
