Summary:
The Phoenix School of Academic Excellence The district contains only one high school, The Learning Institute, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 102 students.
The Learning Institute appears to be a struggling school, with declining statewide rankings, low academic performance, and a high dropout rate compared to state averages. Only 9% of 11th-grade students are proficient or better in core subjects like English, Math, and Science, indicating a significant need for academic interventions and support. The school's predominantly Hispanic student population and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggest it may be serving an underserved community, but the data shows the school is underperforming and failing to effectively support its students through graduation.
With a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and a statewide ranking that has dropped from 383 out of 469 Arizona high schools in 2022-2023 to 422 out of 509 in 2020-2021, The Learning Institute is clearly facing significant challenges. The 4-year graduation rate of just 38.2% and a dropout rate of 4.2% in the 2021-2022 school year further highlight the need for substantial improvements in supporting and retaining students at this high school.
