ASA Charter

Summary:

ASA Charter is an alternative public charter school located in San Bernardino, CA that serves grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 319 students. The school is part of the ASA Charter District.

ASA Charter appears to be struggling across multiple key metrics compared to state and local averages. The school has had low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 41.7% to 46.2%, which is significantly lower than the state average of around 85%. ASA Charter also has had high dropout rates, reaching 58.3% in 2022-2023, much higher than the state average. Additionally, the school had a chronic absenteeism rate of 47.0% in 2022-2023, very high compared to the state average of around 12%. Academically, ASA Charter students perform significantly below state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels, with only 9.09% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and Math in 2023-2024, compared to state averages of 42.8% and 45.64% respectively.

When comparing ASA Charter to nearby schools, such as Zupanic Virtual Academy and Washington High, which have much higher graduation rates of 65.6% and 78.9% respectively, ASA Charter performs significantly worse across key metrics. The high rates of free/reduced lunch, chronic absenteeism, and low test scores suggest that ASA Charter serves a very high-need student population that is struggling academically. This combination of a high-need student population, low academic performance, and lack of improvement over time indicates that ASA Charter may be facing significant challenges in effectively serving its students and improving educational outcomes.

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.
