This charter school serves grades 9-12 and has consistently demonstrated strong academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's impressive 93.6% four-year graduation rate and low 0.8% dropout rate further highlight its effectiveness in supporting student success and retention.
Phoenix College Preparatory Academy has a diverse student population, with a predominantly Hispanic enrollment (80.25%), followed by White (7.41%), African American (5.35%), Asian (2.88%), Native American (1.65%), and Pacific Islander (0.41%) students.

While the school's academic performance and graduation rates are commendable, it is important to note that a significant portion of the student population (57.61%) qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic need among the student body. This suggests that the school may need to allocate resources and support to address the unique needs of its economically disadvantaged students, ensuring that all learners have the opportunity to thrive academically and personally.
