eCademy Charter at Crane

Summary:

eCademy Charter at Crane is a virtual public charter school serving grades K-12 in Turlock, California, with a total enrollment of 161 students. While the school boasts a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 90% and a low dropout rate of 10%, it faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 72.4% and a large percentage of students (68.32%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

eCademy Charter at Crane's academic performance is a major concern, with test scores that are significantly lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 40% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 55.73%. In mathematics, the proficiency rates were even lower, with only 5.71% of 11th-grade students and 5.33% of end-of-course students meeting or exceeding standards, compared to the state averages of 27.9% and 35.54%, respectively. When compared to nearby schools, such as Connecting Waters Charter School - Central Valley, which has much higher test scores, a lower chronic absenteeism rate, and a higher four-year graduation rate, eCademy Charter at Crane stands out as an outlier.

The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at eCademy Charter at Crane suggests the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the challenges it faces in academic performance and attendance. Additionally, as a virtual charter school, eCademy Charter at Crane may face unique challenges in engaging students and ensuring regular attendance, which could be contributing factors to its low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rate. To address these concerns, the school's leadership and stakeholders should prioritize strategies to improve student attendance, implement more effective instructional methods and curriculum, and closely examine the school's virtual learning model to identify and address any unique challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
