What kind of school is it, and who does it serve?

  • A public charter school for grades K to 12.
  • Open in NCES’s 2025-26 directory, which is still preliminary.
  • Students were enrolled in 2023-24, as the CRDC records it, in a dual enrollment or dual credit program; none in a gifted and talented program.
  • In 2024-25, 84% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, 139 of the 165 enrolled on October 1: 137 for free lunch and 2 for reduced-price.
  • NCES counts 127 students directly certified for free meals in 2024-25, without an application, through their families’ part in programs such as SNAP.
  • Around the school, a family with children aged 5 to 17 has an income of about 118% of the federal poverty threshold for its size (100% is at the threshold), by NCES’s 2021-22 estimate from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey of 2018-2022; its standard error is 30 points.
  • That describes the school’s neighbourhood, which NCES says may differ from the neighbourhoods its students live in.

Who runs it?

  • Run by West Park Elementary, its local education agency in NCES’s directory.
  • Its charter authorizer, as NCES lists it: WEST PARK ELEMENTARY.
  • District spending, fiscal year 2024: West Park Elementary spent $22,047 per student, by the Census Bureau’s count of the district’s spending and its 469 students, of which $10,808 went on instruction and $10,145 on support services such as administration, buildings and transport.
  • That is the district’s figure across all its schools, not this school’s own: its day-to-day spending on salaries, benefits, services and supplies, not on construction, equipment, debt or payments to other school systems.

Has anything been proven against it?

  • Federal school data don’t record findings against a school: the counts here are what the school reported, and the Office for Civil Rights’ own investigations aren’t included.

What the record doesn’t say

  • Federal school data arrive one to three years after the school year they describe, so each figure here carries its own year.
  • The Civil Rights Data Collection is gathered every two years and published about two years later: its 2023-24 figures came out in August 2026.
  • To protect students’ privacy, the Office for Civil Rights adds or takes away one at random from counts of students, and ED does the same for chronic absence counts of four or fewer, so a small count may be one off.
  • Where the public file shows code −10, “Suppressed in compliance with Executive Order” 14168, figures are withheld: students reported as nonbinary, and harassment allegations based on gender identity, are left out of the counts here.
  • The 2021-22 collection didn’t include teacher experience, so there’s no earlier figure to compare it with.
  • ED publishes each school’s test results in reading and language arts and in mathematics, but they aren’t loaded here yet.
  • ED publishes most schools’ results as ranges, wider for smaller schools, to protect students’ privacy: each is shown as ED publishes it, never as a single figure.
  • The CRDC’s 2023-24 public file records Advanced Placement and the International Baccalaureate only where students were enrolled in them, and marks other high schools not applicable: one this page doesn’t name may still be offered.
