Summary:
The Edkey Inc. - Redwood Academy district in Arizona contains a single public charter elementary school, Arizona Conservatory for Arts and Academics Elementary School, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 180 students.
While the school has a diverse student population, with 45.56% Hispanic and 10% two or more races, its academic performance is concerning. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like science, English language arts, and mathematics are significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, dropping from 681 out of 1,039 Arizona elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 925 out of 1,245 in 2022-2023, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger rating from 2 stars to 1 star.
The high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 55.56% of the school's population eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to the academic performance challenges. The school's per-student spending of $11,327 for the 2021-2022 school year suggests that targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the unique needs of the student population and improve student outcomes.
