Summary:
The Kaizen Education Foundation dba Mission Heights Pr district in Arizona operates two high schools: Mission Heights Preparatory High School and Leona Connected High School. While both schools serve high school students, the data reveals a significant performance gap between them.
Mission Heights Preparatory High School stands out as the stronger performer, consistently ranking higher among Arizona high schools and boasting a 4-year graduation rate of 88.5%, compared to just 21.6% at Leona Connected High School. Academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are also higher at Mission Heights Preparatory High School, exceeding district and state averages.
In contrast, Leona Connected High School struggles academically, with proficiency rates well below the district and state. The school also has a concerning dropout rate of 24.8%, significantly higher than the 2.2% rate at Mission Heights Preparatory High School. While the per-student spending is similar between the two schools, the stark differences in outcomes suggest the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and support systems to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students in the district.
