Summary

Service Valley Charter Academy is a 106-student K–8 school in Parsons, in the Oswego district. In 2025–26, 29% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 18% in math, and 40% in science. The most concerning result is that the school had the lowest ELA and math scores among nearby schools with results.

Science is the school’s relative bright spot: its 40% proficiency rate was above the state’s 38% and the district’s 32%, though it was the second-lowest among nearby schools with science results. ELA and math were below both benchmarks: ELA was 29%, compared with 46% statewide and 40% in the district; math was 18%, compared with 41% statewide and 26% in the district. The school’s 18% math result was about 30 percentage points below the nearby-school average, while its ELA result was about 25 points below that average. Within grades, sixth-grade ELA stood out at 50%—above the state’s 42%—while grade 5 math was 0%.

Results have fluctuated rather than improved steadily. From 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose by about 1 percentage point and science by about 3, while math fell by about 6; the latest science score was 18 points below the prior year. SchoolDigger ranked the school in the 19th percentile and gave it 1 star in 2025–26; nearby ranked schools were in the 35th to 75th percentiles. SchoolDigger’s historical effectiveness ranking for low-socioeconomic-status students was notably higher, at the 70th percentile in 2022–23 versus 33rd overall. Its ranking for White students, by contrast, was 5th percentile in both 2024–25 and 2025–26. Other context: chronic absenteeism was 3.7%, below the district’s 9.6% and state’s 17.8%; the student-teacher ratio was 9.9, compared with a nearby-school average of 13.2. The free/reduced-lunch rate was 63%, close to the nearby average of 64%.
