Albertville Primary has a lower free/reduced lunch rate (21.8%) than Kaleidoscope Charter Elementary School (35%), and Kaleidoscope Charter Elementary School has a lower student/teacher ratio (10.9 vs. 13.9).

Kaleidoscope Charter Elementary School is the only school with visible MCA results. Its district row shows Kaleidoscope Charter School at 3 stars and 59th percentile, but its school-level rank history shows 1 star and 22nd–27th percentile across three listed years—a notable discrepancy. In 2025–2026, all-grade math was 40.3%, above its district (32.5%) but below the state (44.9%). Reading was 38.4%, below both district (45.2%) and state (48.6%). Science was 8.2%, far below district (22.4%) and state (25.5%). Grade-level data show 5th grade as the weakest band: math 20.4%, reading 34.7%, science 8.2%, all well below state. Relative bright spots are 4th-grade math (52.5%) and 3rd-grade reading (42.0%).
Year over year, Kaleidoscope Charter Elementary School’s all-grade math and reading improved (math +5.57 points, reading +3.07 points), while science fell from 16% to 8.2%. For parents, Albertville Primary’s main strengths are its 5-star, 94th-percentile district and lower poverty indicator, but its academic performance cannot be judged from state tests here. Kaleidoscope Charter Elementary School has a lower student/teacher ratio but remains below state averages in every tested subject, with science and 5th grade the clearest pressure points.
