Summary:

Sycamore Academy of Science and Cultural Arts - Chino Valley is a public charter elementary school serving 311 students in grades K-8 in Chino, California. The school is part of the Sycamore Academy of Sci and Cultural Arts - Chino VLY District, which is ranked 719 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Sycamore Academy performs better than the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) across most grade levels, with 6th-grade students scoring particularly high at 66.67% proficient or better compared to the state's 45.82%. However, the school lags behind the state average in Mathematics, with only 33.77% of students scoring proficient or better in the end-of-course assessment, compared to the state's 35.54%. Science proficiency is also an area of concern, with only 20.69% of students scoring proficient or better in the end-of-course CAST assessment, compared to the state's 30.7%. The school's Hispanic students perform exceptionally well, ranking 974 out of 5,102 California elementary schools in ELA, with a 4-star rating, but the school's multi-racial and low socioeconomic status (SES) students struggle, ranking in the bottom 25% of California elementary schools in those subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, Sycamore Academy's performance is mixed. While it outperforms some schools, such as Walnut Avenue Elementary and Philadelphia Elementary, in both ELA and Math, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Eagle Canyon Elementary and Rolling Ridge Elementary. The nearby schools with the highest test scores also have lower rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement.

Could not get my child out fast enough. The school is more like a daycare, there was nothing of substance that was taught. Many of the children were disruptive and had behavioral issues that distracted the class. Several teachers left after a few months, staff turnover is high leading to disruption and inconsistency with the students. My child is happier in their new school. I don't see Sycamore Chino lasting very long. Low enrollment shows that. Close Quote

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.
