Summary:
The Old Town Academy K-8 Charter District in San Diego contains just one school, Old Town Academy K-8 Charter, serving grades K-8 with 194 students in a small, autonomous charter setting.
This school consistently performs above California state averages in core subjects, with particularly strong results in upper-grade English and math, where 7th and 8th graders score over 30 points higher than the state. Its mathematics proficiency is strong across all grades, and it maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 16-to-1. While the school's academic performance is solid, its overall state ranking has remained in the mid-tier (3 stars) for the past three years, suggesting factors beyond test scores, like student growth, are considered in its rating.
Notable areas for attention include science scores, which are only slightly above the state average, with 5th-grade science notably lower. Chronic absenteeism is also slightly higher than the state average, which is a concern as attendance is linked to academic success. Overall, Old Town Academy K-8 Charter provides a stable, smaller learning environment that delivers above-average academic results in core subjects, especially for middle school students.
