Citizens of the World Charter School West Valley

Summary:

Citizens of the World Charter School West Valley is a public charter elementary school serving 282 students in grades K-8 in Winnetka, California. The school is part of the Citizens of the World Charter School West Valley District, which is ranked 350 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Citizens of the World Charter School West Valley demonstrates consistently strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, outpacing the state and nearby public schools like N.E.W. Academy Canoga Park, Napa Street Elementary, and Sunny Brae Avenue Elementary. The school's proficiency rates in ELA and Math are significantly higher than the state averages, with particularly strong performance in 4th grade ELA. However, the school's white student subgroup has a lower ranking compared to other white students in the state, indicating a potential area for improvement.

While the school's academic performance is impressive, it has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.3%, which is higher than the nearby public schools and the state average. Additionally, the school has a lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (25.53%) compared to the nearby public schools, suggesting a different socioeconomic profile of the student population. This may contribute to the school's strong academic performance, but it also raises questions about the school's accessibility and inclusiveness for students from lower-income families.

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.
