Harvest Power Community Development Group Inc.

The Harvest Power Community Development Group Inc. district in Arizona operates two schools: Harvest Preparatory Academy, an alternative school serving grades K-12, and Harvest Preparatory Academy San Luis AZ, an elementary school serving grades K-8. While both schools have impressive graduation and dropout rates, they face significant challenges in academic performance, with standardized test scores well below the state averages, particularly in mathematics.

Harvest Preparatory Academy has a 4-year graduation rate of 96.4% and a low dropout rate of 0.5%, indicating the school is effective in keeping students engaged and on track to complete their education. However, its academic performance is a concern, with test scores substantially below the state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. Similarly, Harvest Preparatory Academy San Luis AZ has a 0% dropout rate, but its academic performance is also significantly lagging the state, especially in mathematics.

Both schools serve predominantly Hispanic student populations, with Harvest Preparatory Academy San Luis AZ having 98.75% Hispanic students and Harvest Preparatory Academy at 94.23%. Additionally, the schools have high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the district serves a predominantly low-income community. While the demographic and socioeconomic factors may contribute to the academic challenges, the district should focus on developing targeted strategies to improve student learning and ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
