ATLAS Learning Academy

Q: Is ATLAS Learning Academy a good school?

ATLAS Learning Academy ranks 493 rd of 2323 California alternative schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

ATLAS Learning Academy is an alternative public school located in Lincoln, California, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 65 students. It is part of the Western Placer Unified School District, which is ranked 470 out of 1,568 school districts in California and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

ATLAS Learning Academy stands out for its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 77.4% to 88.9% over the past four school years, significantly higher than the state average and the graduation rates of the nearby schools like Placer County Court Schools, which had a 54.5% four-year graduation rate in 2020-2021. The school also has had 0% chronic absenteeism for the past three school years, which is significantly lower than the state average and the nearby schools. Additionally, ATLAS Learning Academy students have outperformed the Western Placer Unified School District and the state of California in several key academic areas, including English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics.

However, ATLAS Learning Academy has had higher dropout rates compared to the state average, ranging from 5.9% to 16.1% over the past four school years, which is an area of concern that the school should address. The school's performance on the CAST science assessment has also been mixed, with some years performing better than the district and state, and other years performing worse. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio has varied significantly over the past three years, ranging from 16.7 to 33 students per teacher, which could impact the quality of instruction and support provided to students. The school should strive to maintain a more consistent and manageable student-teacher ratio.

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.
