Summary:
The American Charter Schools Foundation d.b.a. South P district in Arizona operates a single high school, South Pointe High School, which has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state. The school's academic performance, graduation rates, and overall outcomes are significantly below state averages, indicating a need for substantial improvement to better serve its students.
South Pointe High School has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and has ranked 257 out of 259 high schools in Arizona for the 2023-2024 school year and 425 out of 469 in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all well below the state averages, with only 10% of students proficient in ELA and 7% in Math, compared to state averages of 38% and 30%, respectively. Additionally, the school's 4-year graduation rate is just 50%, and its dropout rate is an alarming 23.5%.
While the school's per-student spending is slightly above the state average, its student population is predominantly Hispanic (69.73%) and African American (20.72%), with a high percentage (43.6%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. These demographic factors may contribute to the challenges the school faces, but do not excuse the consistently poor performance. Addressing the school's shortcomings will require a comprehensive effort to improve the quality of education and support for its students.
