Vision Charter Academy K-8

Vision Charter Academy K-8 is a public charter school located in Delta, Colorado, serving 172 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the Delta County Joint District No. 50, which is ranked 42 out of 116 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby public schools like Hotchkiss Elementary School, Cedaredge Elementary School, and Olathe Elementary School, Vision Charter Academy K-8 has a significantly higher percentage of white students at 79.65%. However, the school generally underperforms these nearby schools on CMAS test scores, particularly in science and math. In 8th grade science, Vision Charter Academy K-8 scored 16.7% proficient or better, lower than the district (28.6%) and state (32.2%) averages. In math across all grades, the school scored 22.4% proficient or better, below both the district (31%) and state (34.2%) averages.

Another area of concern is the school's higher student-teacher ratio of 17.7, compared to the nearby public schools which range from 15.7 to 19.6 students per teacher. Additionally, Vision Charter Academy K-8 does not have available data on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is an important indicator of the school's socioeconomic status and the challenges its community may face. Overall, the analysis suggests that the school may need to focus on strengthening its curriculum and instructional practices, particularly in science and math, as well as exploring ways to provide more individualized attention and support for its students.
