Summary:
Leading Edge Academy Queen Creek is a public charter school district in Queen Creek, Arizona, serving students in grades K-8. With only one school in the district, Leading Edge Academy Mountain View, the district provides a focused educational experience for its 364 students.
Academically, Leading Edge Academy Mountain View has a mixed performance compared to the state average. While the school outperforms the state in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts, it underperforms in 3rd grade Mathematics and Science at both the 5th and 8th grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 444 out of 1,000 Arizona elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 582 out of 1,245 in 2022-2023, with a current ranking of 488 out of 904 in 2023-2024. Its SchoolDigger rating is 2 out of 5 stars, indicating room for improvement in the school's overall performance and quality.
Despite the mixed academic performance, Leading Edge Academy Queen Creek serves a diverse student population, with a racial/ethnic composition of 52.47% White, 32.14% Hispanic, 6.59% African American, and smaller percentages of Asian, Native American, and Pacific Islander students. The school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 30.77% suggests that a significant portion of the student population comes from lower-income households, which may impact academic outcomes and resource allocation. Additionally, the school's 5.7% dropout rate for the 2021-2022 school year is higher than the state average and may be an area of concern that requires further investigation and intervention.
