Faith Academy Charter School

Summary:

Faith Academy Charter School is an alternative public charter school located in Faith, North Carolina, serving grades K-9 with a total enrollment of 601 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, with 90.35% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year.

Faith Academy Charter School consistently outperforms the state average in mathematics and reading proficiency across most grade levels, with a 3rd grade mathematics proficiency rate of 67.1% compared to the state average of 62.7%, and an 8th grade mathematics proficiency rate of 64.9% compared to the state average of 46.9%. The school also excels in 8th grade science, with a proficiency rate of 77% compared to the state average of 70.1%. Additionally, Faith Academy Charter School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4 students per teacher, which is similar to the nearby Valor Preparatory Academy and Carolina International School.

While Faith Academy Charter School's academic performance is impressive, its predominantly white student population of 90.35% stands in contrast to the more diverse student populations of the nearby schools, such as Carolina International School and Valor Preparatory Academy. This raises questions about the school's efforts to promote diversity and inclusivity, and whether it is serving the needs of a diverse student population. Nonetheless, Faith Academy Charter School's consistent academic excellence, particularly in mathematics and science, makes it a standout option in the region.

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.
