Summary:
The Espiritu Community Development Corp. district in Arizona is home to a single public charter high school, NFL YET College Prep Academy, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 313 students.
NFL YET College Prep Academy faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly Hispanic student population. The school's academic performance, as measured by test scores, is significantly below the state averages in Arizona, with only 16% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 6% proficient or better in 11th-grade Math, compared to state averages of 40% and 32% respectively. The school's low ranking of 370 out of 469 Arizona high schools and 1-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest it is one of the lower-performing high schools in the state. Additionally, a very high percentage (93.61%) of students at NFL YET College Prep Academy qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the challenges, NFL YET College Prep Academy has maintained a respectable four-year graduation rate of 85.9% for the 2021-2022 school year, and a relatively low dropout rate of 3.4% for the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school's academic performance and overall ranking indicate that there is significant room for improvement in providing a high-quality education to the students in the Espiritu Community Development Corp. district.
