Home Choice Academy

Summary:

Home Choice Academy is an alternative public school located in Vancouver, Washington, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 205 students. The school is part of the Evergreen School District, which is ranked 185 out of 247 districts in Washington and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Home Choice Academy has a more diverse student population compared to the surrounding schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (22.93%) and two or more races (10.73%) students. However, the school's racial diversity has become less diverse over the past three years, with the percentage of White students increasing from 51.32% in 2021-2022 to 57.56% in 2022-2023. The school also has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 61.46% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Academically, Home Choice Academy's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the Evergreen School District and the state of Washington, with proficiency rates in SBAC English Language Arts (38.16%) and Math (22.67%) below the district and state averages.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $13,950 in the 2021-2022 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools, Home Choice Academy's academic performance remains below the district and state averages. This suggests that the additional resources may not be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. The school's leadership and the district may need to explore targeted interventions and support systems to address the unique challenges faced by the school's diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, as well as to improve overall student achievement.

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.
