Summary:
Achievement Preparatory Academy PCS - Wahler Place Elementary School is the only school listed in Achievement Preparatory Academy PCS; it serves prekindergarten through grade 7 and has 409 students. In 2025–2026, schoolwide proficiency was 24% in English Language Arts (ELA), compared with 40% statewide, and 11% in math, compared with 28% statewide. The most important finding is that results were substantially below the state in both subjects, with math 17 percentage points behind.
There is no school-to-school top or bottom in this one-school list; within the school, 7th-grade ELA was closest to the state, while the lowest reported results were in math in grades 4 and 5. Seventh-grade ELA was 45% versus 46% statewide, a 1-point gap. Fourth-grade math was 5% versus 36%, 31 points behind, and 5th-grade math was 2% versus 30%, 28 points behind. These grade-level differences show why the schoolwide figures alone do not tell the whole story.
ELA proficiency rose by 2 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, matching the state’s 2-point gain, so the gap stayed at 16 points. Math fell by 3 points as the state rose by 2, widening the school’s deficit by 5 points, from 12 to 17. Separately, SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking improved from 116th of 126 schools, in the 8th percentile with 0 stars, in 2023–2024 to 83rd of 124, in the 33rd percentile with 2 stars, in 2025–2026; its latest district ranking is 26th of 46. The school’s student–teacher ratio was 12.7 in 2024–2025, and 78% of students were directly certified for free meals that year. These figures provide context, but do not explain the achievement results.
