Demographics
Demographics Summary
At the end of the 2018-19 school year, Academy of Choice had an enrollment of 142 students and was open to serve students from across the district. This number excludes students who graduated throughout the school year. Of the 142 students, 86 were high school students and 56 were middle school students. Students are selected through an application process that was changed towards the end of the 2018-19 school year.
At the middle school level, 13% of students are classified as English language learners, 79% received free/reduced lunch, and currently no students are served under Special Education. Demographically, 32 of our middle school students are female and 24 are male, with the following percentages by ethnicity: 68% Hispanic; 18% white, .07% African American, .02% Asian and .05% representing multiple ethnicities.
At the high school level, 16% of students are classified as English language learners, 60% received free/reduced lunch, and .05% are served under Special Education. Demographically, 54 of our high school students are female and 32 are male, with the following percentages by ethnicity: 67% Hispanic, 22% white, .03% African American,
.03% Asian and .03% representing multiple ethnicities.
At the end of the 2019-2020 school year, demographically there had been little to no change, but due to a shift in instructional program, our student body was splintering between students who wished to remain at AOC and those who chose to go back to their zoned campus.
We began the 2020-2021 school year with 25 returning middle school students in grades 7 and 8 (from SOMS, SWMS, LMS and SFMS), 40 returning high school students and 26 new 9th and 10th grade students who chose AOC for the change in instructional programming.
Demographics Strengths
The demographic strength of AOC is that it offers a smaller, alternative learning environment for students from across the district.
Problem Statements Identifying Demographic Needs
Problem Statement 1: Though we have undergone this change of instructional focus and are currently offering a smaller, more personalized learning environment for students hoping to get back on track to graduation with their cohort, only 26 students have taken advantage of this opportunity thus far. Root Cause: Our initial recruiting was partially derailed by COVID-19 in the spring, and not all of our potential customers may be aware of the AOC option. Additionally, it will probably take time to build word of mouth credit with students that we can and will fulfill our promise to help them get back on track
