Wayside Altamira Academy

Summary:

Wayside Altamira Academy is an elementary public charter school in Austin, Texas, serving 293 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Wayside Schools district, which is ranked 830 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wayside Altamira Academy faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Menchaca Elementary and Casey Elementary, two nearby public schools that outperform Wayside Altamira Academy on academic measures despite serving similar student populations. Wayside Altamira Academy struggles to effectively serve its diverse student body, particularly its Hispanic, English Language Learner, and economically disadvantaged students, who make up a significant portion of the school's enrollment.

Despite spending more per student than the state average, Wayside Altamira Academy has a higher student-teacher ratio than the nearby public schools, which may be a contributing factor to its academic underperformance. The school's persistent underperformance, equity issues, and resource allocation challenges suggest the need for a comprehensive review and improvement plan to address the root causes of its academic struggles and provide a high-quality education to all its students.

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.
