Summary:
The Southern Arizona Community Academy Inc. district in Southern Arizona operates two high schools: Southern Arizona Community Academy and SACA Online. Both schools are struggling academically, with very low proficiency rates in core subjects and high dropout rates, indicating systemic challenges within the district.
The Southern Arizona Community Academy had proficiency rates of only 11-14% in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, significantly below the state averages. The school also had an extremely low four-year graduation rate of 28.6% and a high dropout rate of 12.2%. SACA Online did not have any reported test score data, suggesting potentially even lower academic achievement, and also had a high dropout rate of 12.2%.
The student demographics of both schools indicate a high proportion of minority and economically disadvantaged students, raising concerns about educational equity and access to resources. The lack of transparency and missing data for certain metrics, such as free/reduced lunch rates and student-teacher ratios, further hinders effective analysis and decision-making. Addressing the systemic issues, improving academic performance, and ensuring equitable access to resources should be the focus of any efforts to support these schools and their students.
