Summary:
Hirsch Academy A Challenge Foundation is the sole elementary school located in the Hirsch Academy A Challenge Foundation district in Scottsdale, Arizona. This public charter school serves grades K-6 and has a total enrollment of 177 students. The school stands out for its strong performance in science, with 58% of 5th-grade students proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 34%.
Academically, Hirsch Academy A Challenge Foundation has uneven results across grade levels. While the school performs well in 3rd-grade English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics, its performance declines in the upper elementary grades, particularly in 6th-grade ELA where only 15% of students are proficient compared to the 42% state average. This suggests the school may need to address academic challenges as students progress through the grades.
With nearly 89% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Hirsch Academy A Challenge Foundation serves a student population with significant economic challenges. This high level of economic disadvantage may require the school to allocate additional resources and support to address the needs of its disadvantaged students. Despite these challenges, the school has maintained a consistent ranking within the top 50% of Arizona elementary schools over the past three years.
