Summary:
The Pima Prevention Partnership dba Pima Partnership A district in Tucson, Arizona operates a single middle school, Pima Partnership Academy. This school serves a diverse student population, with a high percentage of low-income and minority students. However, Pima Partnership Academy has consistently struggled with poor academic performance, ranking in the bottom quartile of Arizona middle schools and performing significantly below state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
Pima Partnership Academy's student body is 80% Hispanic, 8% Native American, 6% African American, 2% White, and 4% two or more races. The school also has a high percentage (80%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a low-income student population. Academically, the school's performance is dismal, with only 8-21% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 9-19% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 37-42% and 27-30%, respectively. The school's 8th-grade Science proficiency rate is also very low at just 5%, compared to the state average of 27%.
In addition to its academic challenges, Pima Partnership Academy has a high dropout rate of 13%, significantly higher than the state average. The school's overall performance is reflected in its low SchoolDigger rating of 1 out of 5 stars. While the school's relatively low spending per student of $1,151 may be a contributing factor, the persistent low performance suggests that the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, likely due to a combination of demographic, resource, and other systemic factors.
