Academy of Charter Schools

Summary:

Academy of Charter Schools is a public charter school located in Westminster, Colorado that serves grades PK-12 with 1,890 students. The school is part of the State Charter School Institute district, which is ranked 45 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 3-star rating.

Academy of Charter Schools outperforms the State Charter School Institute and Colorado state averages in several key test score metrics, including CMAS English Language Arts and Math proficiency. However, the school underperforms in CMAS Science proficiency, especially for 11th grade. The school has a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 26.08% compared to the state average, but a higher student-teacher ratio of 20.4. These academic strengths and areas for improvement suggest the school has effective curriculum and teaching practices that are consistently applied throughout the grade levels, but may need to focus on enhancing science instruction and ensuring equitable access for underrepresented student groups.

When compared to other nearby charter schools, such as Prospect Ridge Academy and Peak to Peak Charter School, Academy of Charter Schools generally outperforms them in academic metrics, suggesting it is a relatively high-performing school in the local area. However, some schools like Stargate Charter School and Peak to Peak Charter School significantly outperform Academy of Charter Schools, particularly in science and math.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
