Summary:
The North Star Charter School Inc. district in Arizona contains a single high school, Arizona Preparatory Academy, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance raises significant concerns, with declining statewide rankings, low academic achievement, and alarmingly high dropout rates.
Arizona Preparatory Academy has a student enrollment of 1,136 and a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic student body. However, the school's academic outcomes are well below state averages, with only 4% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in science, 5% in English Language Arts, and 3% in mathematics. The school's four-year graduation rate is a mere 8.5%, and its dropout rate is an extremely high 24.7%, indicating that the school is struggling to keep students engaged and on track to graduation.
The school's lower-than-average spending per student and lack of information on the student-teacher ratio suggest that resource constraints may be contributing to the poor performance. Comprehensive improvement efforts are clearly needed to address the underlying challenges and ensure that all students at Arizona Preparatory Academy receive the support and resources they need to succeed academically and graduate on time.
