Summary:
The Pathfinder Charter School Foundation district in Arizona has only one school, Imagine Cortez Park Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is significantly below the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 13% to 18% in English Language Arts and 15% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 39% to 46% in ELA and 33% in Mathematics.
Imagine Cortez Park Elementary has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students (51.06%), followed by Asian (27.33%), African American (11.86%), White (5.3%), and Native American (1.06%) students. The school also has a high percentage of students (93.64%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's spending per student for the 2019-2020 school year was $9,614, which raises questions about the adequacy of funding and the effective allocation of resources to support student learning.
Overall, the analysis of the single school in the Pathfinder Charter School Foundation district reveals significant challenges in terms of academic performance, economic disadvantage, and potential funding and resource allocation concerns. To gain a deeper understanding and identify potential areas for improvement, further analysis with a larger data set and comparative information would be beneficial.
