Sage Academy Inc.

Sage Academy Inc. is a single public charter elementary school (K-8) located in Phoenix, Arizona, serving a diverse student population of 114 students. While the school's racial makeup is varied, with a mix of white, African American, and Hispanic students, its academic performance has been generally below the state average, with fluctuating statewide rankings and a concerning high dropout rate.

Sage Academy has faced challenges in its academic outcomes, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math ranging from 29% to 50% across different grade levels, compared to the state averages. The school's statewide ranking has varied over the years, from 466 out of 1,106 Arizona elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 761 out of 1,226 in 2020-2021, before improving to 525 out of 1,245 in the most recent 2022-2023 school year. Additionally, the school has a high dropout rate of 26.3%, which is a significant concern.

Despite these challenges, Sage Academy Inc. serves a diverse student population, with over 50% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population. The school's per-student spending of $10,982 for the 2019-2020 school year is relatively high, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the impact on student outcomes. Overall, Sage Academy faces a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, and the school's leadership and community will need to focus on addressing the academic performance challenges and high dropout rate to better serve its students.
