Summary:
Ombudsman Educational Services Ltd., a subsidiary, operates 8 high schools across different cities in Arizona, including Tucson, Glendale, Peoria, Tempe, and Phoenix. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic and minority students, but generally struggle with low academic performance, high dropout rates, and poor graduation rates compared to the state averages.
Among the Ombudsman schools, Ombudsman - Charter East II and Ombudsman - Charter East stand out as the relatively better-performing schools, with higher proficiency rates, graduation rates, and SchoolDigger ratings. These schools may provide valuable insights into the factors that contribute to their stronger performance compared to the other Ombudsman schools. However, the consistently low performance across the network raises concerns about educational equity and the ability of these schools to effectively serve their diverse student populations.
The wide range in per-student spending, from $5,369 to $9,936, suggests potential differences in resource allocation and funding across the Ombudsman Educational Services Ltd. subsidiary schools. Further analysis would be needed to understand how these funding differences may be impacting the schools' performance and outcomes, and to identify strategies for improving the overall quality of education provided by the Ombudsman network.
