Summary:
The American Charter Schools Foundation d.b.a. Apache district operates a single public charter high school, Apache Trail High School, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 191 students. The school has consistently performed poorly, ranking in the bottom half of Arizona high schools with a 0-star rating and concerning metrics across the board.
Apache Trail High School's student population is predominantly white (52.88%) with significant Hispanic representation (37.7%), but the school faces significant challenges. Its four-year graduation rate is just 37.0%, well below the state average, and its dropout rate is a high 23.4%. Academically, the school struggles, with only 4% of students proficient in science compared to the state average of 22%. Additionally, 60.21% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage among the student population.
The data paints a concerning picture of Apache Trail High School's performance and the challenges it faces in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing these issues will likely require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes, such as academic support programs, teacher professional development, and community engagement initiatives. As the sole school operated by the American Charter Schools Foundation d.b.a. Apache district, the district must prioritize improving the school's performance to ensure all students have access to a quality education.
