Summary:
The Pinnacle Education-Tempe Inc. district operates two high schools, Pinnacle Online High School and Pinnacle High School - Tempe, both of which serve a predominantly Hispanic student population. However, the data reveals significant challenges across these schools, including low academic performance, high dropout rates, and poor graduation outcomes compared to state averages.
Neither school stands out as a clear academic leader, with both institutions performing well below state proficiency levels in science and English language arts assessments. Pinnacle Online High School reported only 3% proficiency in 11th-grade science and 12% in 11th-grade English, while Pinnacle High School - Tempe did not have any reported test scores, suggesting even lower academic achievement. Additionally, both schools struggle with alarmingly low four-year graduation rates of just 25%.
The data also highlights concerning equity issues, as the high percentage of minority students, particularly Hispanic and African American, at both schools raises questions about the district's ability to effectively serve diverse student populations. With a persistent lack of improvement over time and high dropout rates, especially the 33.8% rate at Pinnacle High School - Tempe, the Pinnacle Education-Tempe Inc. district faces significant challenges in providing a quality education and supporting student success.
