Summary:
The American Charter Schools Foundation d.b.a. Peoria district in Arizona operates a single high school, Peoria Accelerated High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with a low statewide ranking, extremely low student proficiency rates, and concerning graduation and dropout rates.
Peoria Accelerated High School has a majority Hispanic student population and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 70.67% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's 4-year graduation rate is only 30.9%, well below the state average, and its dropout rate is 18.2%, significantly higher than the state norm. Student proficiency on state assessments is shockingly low, with just 7% proficient or better in English Language Arts, 2% in Mathematics, and 4% in Science.
Despite the school's challenges, its per-student spending of $9,111 is below the state average, raising questions about the adequacy of resources and funding. The data suggests that American Charter Schools Foundation d.b.a. Peoria may need to implement targeted interventions, increase support and resources, and focus on improving educational outcomes for all students at Peoria Accelerated High School.
