Walton Charter Academy

Summary:

Walton Charter Academy is an elementary school in Pontiac, Michigan that serves students from kindergarten to 8th grade, with a diverse student population that is majority Hispanic and African American. However, the school faces significant challenges, consistently performing below state averages in academic proficiency and having a much higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state.

Walton Charter Academy's academic performance is a major concern, with only 24.1% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and 21.8% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 39.6% and 43.4%, respectively. The school also ranks in the bottom quartile of Michigan elementary schools, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. In comparison, the nearby Carpenter Elementary School had significantly higher proficiency rates, with 65.5% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and 70.2% in Math.

Walton Charter Academy serves a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 93.82% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's overall performance is low, its African American students perform relatively better, ranking 94 out of 348 Michigan elementary schools in English Language Arts. However, the school's increased spending per student, from $10,180 in 2019-2020 to $13,439 in 2022-2023, has not translated into improved academic outcomes, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies and support systems.

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.
