Baypoint Preparatory Academy - San Diego

Q: Is Baypoint Preparatory Academy - San Diego a good school?

Baypoint Preparatory Academy - San Diego ranks 1508 th of 5862 California elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Baypoint Preparatory Academy - San Diego is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in San Marcos, CA, with 199 students. This relatively small school consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, particularly in 8th grade ELA where 90.91% of students were proficient or better, significantly higher than the state's 45.95%.

Baypoint Preparatory Academy - San Diego generally outperforms the nearby public elementary schools in the San Marcos Unified School District, such as Paloma Elementary and Twin Oaks Elementary, in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. However, the school lags behind the high-performing Discovery Elementary, which is also part of the San Marcos Unified School District. The nearby Community Montessori charter school, which is part of a different district, also performs at a similar or slightly higher level than Baypoint Preparatory Academy - San Diego in most academic areas.

Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (41.71% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch), Baypoint Preparatory Academy - San Diego's ability to outperform the state and many of its nearby peers is a notable achievement. The school's smaller student-teacher ratio of 19.9, compared to nearby schools, may contribute to its strong academic performance and allow for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.7% is an area that may require further attention and intervention.

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.
