High Schools in Western School of Science and Technology Inc.

The Western School of Science and Technology Inc. district in Phoenix, Arizona, contains a single high school, Western School of Science and Technology, which serves a predominantly Hispanic student population.

While the school maintains a high graduation rate of 96.1% and a low dropout rate of 0.0%, its academic performance is a concern. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like Science, English Language Arts, and Mathematics are significantly below the state averages, and its statewide ranking has declined from 186th out of 509 Arizona high schools in 2020-2021 to 357th out of 469 in 2022-2023. Additionally, 87.74% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need among the student population.

Despite these challenges, the school's efforts to support student success are evident in its strong graduation and dropout rates. However, the low proficiency rates and declining statewide ranking suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement in areas such as curriculum, instructional practices, and resource allocation. Addressing these areas could help the school better serve its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population and improve academic outcomes.
