Adelante Dual Language Academy

Summary:

Adelante Dual Language Academy is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in San Jose, California, with 491 students. It is part of the Alum Rock Union Elementary School District, which is ranked 1274 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Adelante Dual Language Academy stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, where it outperforms the district and state averages, especially in the upper grades. The school also performs well for Hispanic students and English Language Learners, ranking in the top 50% and top 30% of California elementary schools, respectively, for these subgroups. This is noteworthy given that over 50% of Adelante's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.

However, Adelante has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 1.7% in 2020-2021 to 12.9% in 2022-2023, which is an area the school may need to address. Compared to nearby schools, Adelante generally outperforms other schools in the Alum Rock Union Elementary School District as well as the Mount Pleasant Elementary School District, indicating it is a relatively strong performer within its local context. The school's dual language focus is likely a key factor in its success, as it allows students to develop proficiency in both English and Spanish.

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.
