Fenton Avenue Charter

Q: Is Fenton Avenue Charter a good school?

Fenton Avenue Charter ranks 2885 th of 5862 California elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Fenton Avenue Charter is an elementary public charter school located in Lake View Terrace, California, serving 634 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. While the school's performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average, it outperforms some nearby traditional public schools, such as Morningside Elementary.

Fenton Avenue Charter serves a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (87.22% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and English Language Learners, which likely contributes to the school's academic challenges. However, the school's relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 5.0% suggests it is effective in engaging and retaining its students. In comparison, nearby Harding Street Elementary and Brainard Elementary, which are traditional public schools, have lower student-teacher ratios and may provide insights for Fenton Avenue Charter to improve its own practices.

Overall, Fenton Avenue Charter appears to be a school that is serving a challenging student population and achieving relatively strong results compared to some nearby traditional public schools. However, there are areas where the school could potentially improve, such as student performance and student-teacher ratio, to better support the educational needs of its students. The school's performance suggests it may be providing a better educational experience for its students compared to the surrounding schools, despite the significant challenges it faces.

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.
