Summary:
The Fenton Avenue Charter District consists of a single elementary school, Fenton Avenue Charter, serving grades K-5 with 746 students in a high-poverty area where over 82% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Fenton Avenue Charter demonstrates a significant strength in student engagement, with a chronic absenteeism rate of only 5%, which is dramatically lower than the state average of 19.4%. This indicates a strong school culture and family support. Academically, the school's performance is mixed; its English Language Arts scores are close to the state average, but it faces challenges in mathematics and science, with proficiency rates below state averages, particularly in the upper grades.
Despite having substantial resources, with per-student spending over $23,000, the school's statewide academic ranking has slightly declined over the past three years. For parents, this school shows a remarkable ability to get students to attend regularly, which is a crucial foundation for learning, but its academic results, especially in math and science, are areas to watch as the school works to translate its excellent attendance into higher achievement.
