NFL YET College Prep Academy

Summary:

NFL YET College Prep Academy is a public charter high school in Phoenix, Arizona, serving 313 students in grades 7-12. The school is part of the Espiritu Community Development Corp. District, which is ranked 182 out of 288 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

NFL YET College Prep Academy faces significant academic challenges, with only 28% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 24% proficient or better in Mathematics, well below the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate has declined from 97.7% in 2018-2019 to 85.9% in 2021-2022, and its dropout rate has increased from 1.8% to 3.4% during the same period, higher than the state average. Compared to nearby high-performing schools like ASU Preparatory Academy - Phoenix High School and Phoenix Union Bioscience High School, NFL YET College Prep Academy's academic performance is significantly lower.

Despite the high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, with 93.61% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, NFL YET College Prep Academy's spending per student is relatively low compared to some of the nearby schools. This may contribute to the school's academic challenges, as targeted interventions and additional resources could be needed to support student success. The school's performance on various student subgroups, including female, male, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, is also in the bottom quarter of Arizona high schools, indicating a need for more focused efforts to address the needs of these populations.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
