Summary:
The Kaizen Education Foundation dba Tempe Accelerated district contains a single high school, Kaizen Education Foundation dba Quest High School, which serves a predominantly Hispanic student population. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of Arizona high schools and struggles with significant academic and student outcome challenges.
Kaizen Education Foundation dba Quest High School has a small student enrollment of 88 and a high percentage (69.32%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (5%) and Mathematics (5%) for 11th-grade students are alarmingly low compared to the state averages (40% and 32%, respectively). Additionally, the school has a very low four-year graduation rate of 38.0% and a high dropout rate of 29.5%, suggesting that many students are not completing their high school education.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,719, which is higher than the state average, the data paints a concerning picture of persistent academic underperformance and significant challenges in student outcomes. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach focused on improving instructional quality, providing targeted interventions and support, and addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student success at Kaizen Education Foundation dba Quest High School.
