Summary:
There is only one high school located in the Southwest Leadership Academy district in Phoenix, Arizona. Southwest Leadership Academy is a public charter school serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 200 students, the majority of whom are Hispanic (85%).
Despite serving a predominantly low-income community, with 69% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Southwest Leadership Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Arizona high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 61% is significantly lower than the statewide average, and its dropout rate of 9.5% is relatively high. Proficiency rates in core subjects like 11th-grade Science (4%) and English Language Arts (7%) are alarmingly low, well below the statewide averages.
With its persistent struggles to provide a quality education to its students, Southwest Leadership Academy appears to be in need of significant improvement and intervention. Addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance and implementing targeted strategies to improve academic outcomes, graduation rates, and overall school quality should be a priority for the district and school leadership.
