What stands out at Rocketship Futuro Academy
Rocketship Futuro Academy is a higher-need, mid-sized charter elementary school in Concord, California, enrolling 669 students.
Class loads run heavy: 33.5:1 is larger than about 98% of California schools and 56% above the 21.5:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need runs somewhat above the state's typical profile, with 66.5% of students eligible for free meals.
Enrollment of 669 puts it in the larger third of California schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 93% of the 9,998 California schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 1,903 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #1,586, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by Hispanic or Latino (78%) and Asian (7%) (diversity index 38/100).
Counselor availability sits well past the ASCA benchmark, roughly 362 students sharing each counselor, though short of the most stretched campuses.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 42.8% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Among Concord's elementary schools, it stands alongside Meadow Homes Elementary (732 students): Rocketship Futuro Academy is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (33.5:1 vs 28.2:1).
Rocketship Futuro Academy District is a single-school charter district, so Rocketship Futuro Academy operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
