Summary:
The 97812 zip code area is home to a single public charter school, Arlington Community Charter School, which serves grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 136 students. The school's performance is mixed, with some strengths and areas for improvement.
Arlington Community Charter School has an 81.8% four-year graduation rate, which is relatively high, but also a concerning 34.3% chronic absenteeism rate. The school's test scores vary, with 11th-grade students performing better than the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) but lower in mathematics and science. Younger grade levels generally underperform the state average across subject areas. The school has a high 71.32% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families, which may be a factor in the academic challenges.
Despite the school's relatively high spending of $35,139 per student and a favorable 11.3 student-teacher ratio, there are opportunities to optimize resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes, particularly in mathematics and science. Addressing the root causes of the high chronic absenteeism rate could also be a priority for the school to enhance student engagement and learning.
