Summary:
The Arizona Autism Charter Schools Inc. district operates two high schools in Arizona: Arizona Autism Charter School Upper School Campus and Arizona Autism Charter - Online High School. These schools serve students with autism and other special needs, providing specialized educational programs.
Of the two schools, the Arizona Autism Charter - Online High School appears to be the stronger performer, ranking 283 out of 469 Arizona high schools compared to the Arizona Autism Charter School Upper School Campus which ranked 332. The online school had higher proficiency rates in science and English language arts, as well as a lower dropout rate. In contrast, the upper school campus has a larger student population of 241 and a more diverse student body, with over 50% Hispanic and 32% White students.
However, both schools are struggling academically compared to state averages, with low proficiency rates in science, English language arts, and mathematics. The upper school campus also had a significantly lower 4-year graduation rate of 36.4%, indicating that students at these schools may face significant academic and socioeconomic challenges. To improve student success, the Arizona Autism Charter Schools Inc. district may need to focus on targeted interventions and support services, as well as increasing data transparency to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of their educational programs.
