Service Valley Charter Academy

Summary:

Service Valley Charter Academy is an elementary school located in Parsons, Kansas, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 124 students. The school is part of the Oswego school district, which is ranked 222 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Service Valley Charter Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools, with a ranking between 412 and 586 out of around 650-680 schools.

Service Valley Charter Academy consistently underperforms the state and district averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 23.18% compared to the state average of 33.55%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 10.13% compared to the state average of 31.6%. However, the school does perform better than the Oswego district average in 5th-grade ELA and Science. Interestingly, the school's low socioeconomic status (SES) students outperform the state average for this subgroup in ELA and Mathematics, ranking in the top 30% and top 15% of Kansas elementary schools, respectively, in 2022-2023. In contrast, the school's White student population performs significantly worse than the state average, ranking in the bottom 20% of Kansas elementary schools in ELA and Mathematics.

Despite the higher per-student spending of $11,598 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.2 in 2022-2023, Service Valley Charter Academy is still underperforming compared to the state and district averages. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates its resources and implement more effective instructional strategies to improve student outcomes. When compared to the nearby schools, such as Highland Elementary and Bartlett Elementary, Service Valley Charter Academy generally performs worse in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. However, the school's low SES students outperform the nearby schools' low SES students, indicating that the school may be doing a better job of supporting this subgroup.

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.
