Summary:
The Painted Desert Demonstration Projects Inc. district contains a single elementary school, STAR Charter School, which serves grades K-8 and has a total enrollment of 95 students. The school has a very high percentage of Native American students (90.53%) and struggles with consistently low academic performance compared to state averages.
STAR Charter School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (68.42%), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 22% of 8th graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 27%. The school's SchoolDigger ranking has also declined over the past several years, now placing it in the bottom 10% of Arizona elementary schools.
Overall, the data suggests that STAR Charter School is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its predominantly Native American, economically disadvantaged student population. Significant interventions and support may be needed to improve educational outcomes for the students in this school.
