Summary:
The Magnolia Science Academy District consists of a single public charter high school, Magnolia Science Academy, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 694 students. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (89.48%) and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (79.11%), indicating a need for targeted support and resources.
Academically, Magnolia Science Academy's performance is mixed. In 11th-grade English Language Arts (ELA), the school outperforms the state average, with 64.38% of students proficient or better compared to 55.41% statewide. However, in grades 6-8, ELA proficiency rates range from 21.36% to 31.3%, significantly lower than the state averages of 44.16% to 47.44%. Mathematics proficiency is also a concern, with the school trailing the state averages across all grade levels. The school's 8th-grade science proficiency rate of 5.6% is alarmingly low compared to the state average of 28.76%, indicating a need for significant improvement in this subject area.
Despite the academic challenges, Magnolia Science Academy maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 94.8%. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 22.9% is relatively high, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance in some areas. Overall, the data suggests that while Magnolia Science Academy has some strengths, such as its high graduation rate, there are significant opportunities for improvement, particularly in mathematics and science proficiency, as well as addressing attendance and engagement issues to support student learning outcomes.
