Summary:
Cardinal McCloskey Community Charter School is the only elementary school located within the Cardinal McCloskey Community Charter School district. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and is situated in a high-need area, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
The school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 3 out of 5 stars and 2 out of 5 stars over the past few years. While the school excels in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Math, with significantly higher proficiency rates than the state average, it struggles in the upper elementary grades, with lower proficiency rates in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts and Math, as well as in 5th grade Science. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining student achievement as students progress through the grades.
Despite the inconsistent academic performance, Cardinal McCloskey Community Charter School appears to be allocating significant resources to support student learning, with higher spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average. However, the school's high-need student population may present unique challenges that require additional support and targeted interventions to ensure all students are able to reach their full potential.
