Summary:
The American Charter Schools Foundation d.b.a. South P district in Arizona operates a single public charter high school, South Pointe High School, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 555 students. However, the school has consistently low rankings and performance, raising concerns about the quality of education provided to its students.
South Pointe High School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing schools in Arizona, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and rankings of 257 out of 259 for the 2023-2024 school year and 425 out of 469 for the 2022-2023 school year. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly below the state averages, with only 10% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 7% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 38% and 30%, respectively.
Additionally, the school faces challenges in other areas, such as a low four-year graduation rate of 50% and a high dropout rate of 23.5% for the 2022-2023 school year. The school's student population is predominantly composed of minority and low-income students, with 69.73% Hispanic, 20.72% African American, and 43.6% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. These demographic factors may indicate the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by these student populations.
