The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 75.69% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and a student population that is predominantly Hispanic (69.72%).

The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests in subjects like Science, English Language Arts, and Mathematics are consistently lower than the state and district averages, indicating that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. This trend of declining academic performance is a significant concern for the school and the The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley district.
While the data set does not provide additional context about the school's specific programs or initiatives, the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges.

However, the data clearly shows that Mesa Arts Academy is struggling to prepare its students for academic success, and the district may need to consider additional resources and support to help the school address these issues.
