However, the school struggles with English Language Arts (ELA), underperforming the state in every grade except 6th grade, where 73% of students were proficient. The school also serves a predominantly low-income population, with 64.85% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, yet achieves above-average results in several key areas, especially math.
An interesting finding is the significant year-over-year volatility in test scores, such as 8th grade math soaring from 43% proficiency in 2024-2025 to 78% in 2025-2026, while 7th grade math dropped from 60% to 38% over the same period. This volatility may be due to small class sizes or cohort effects. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 35.8% is lower than the district average of 37.7% but higher than the state average of 31.4%, indicating an area for improvement. Overall, Spring Creek Charter School demonstrates strong math performance and effective teaching despite economic challenges, though it has clear opportunities to strengthen its ELA instruction.
