Summary:
The Worcester Cultural Academy Charter Public School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-4 in the Worcester Cultural Academy Charter Public School District. With a total enrollment of 136 students, the school's academic performance is a significant concern, as its proficiency rates on MCAS tests are consistently well below the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
The school's MCAS test scores reveal a troubling trend, with only 19.51% of students proficient or better in ELA and a mere 6.1% proficient or better in Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to state averages of 41.53% and 40.74%, respectively. While the school's Science proficiency rate is slightly better at 35.29%, it still falls short of the state average of 41.51%. The school's student-teacher ratio of 16.1 to 1 suggests that class sizes may not be a significant factor in the low academic performance.
The data provided does not include specific information about the school's free/reduced lunch rates, but the fact that it is located in a low-ranked school district (344 out of 348 in Massachusetts) and is struggling academically may indicate that the school is serving a disadvantaged community. Targeted interventions and support are likely needed to help the Worcester Cultural Academy Charter Public School and its students achieve better academic outcomes and provide a high-quality education to the community it serves.
