Summary:
ASU Preparatory Academy operates a single public charter middle school, ASU Preparatory Academy - Phoenix Middle School, serving grades 5-8 with 409 students. The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates well below state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels.
Despite spending $21,956 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's academic performance is concerning. Only 19% of 5th graders are proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 38%, and just 12% are proficient in Math versus the state's 33%. This pattern continues through the higher grades, with 8th grade ELA proficiency at 26% compared to the state's 35%. The school also has a 2.5% dropout rate, though more context is needed to fully evaluate this metric.
With over 54% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school likely serves a population of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which can present additional challenges. Without comparative data on other schools in the area, it's difficult to fully assess the school's performance, but the available information suggests ASU Preparatory Academy - Phoenix Middle School is struggling to effectively educate its students and prepare them for academic success.
