EDGE High School - Northwest

Summary:

EDGE High School - Northwest is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Tucson, Arizona, with a relatively small student population of 62 students. The school is part of the Edge School Inc. District, which is ranked 385 out of 540 districts in Arizona and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

EDGE High School - Northwest has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (35.48%) and African American (4.84%) students. However, the school consistently underperforms the state and district averages in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 8% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Science, compared to the state averages of 40% and 22%, respectively. Additionally, EDGE High School - Northwest has significantly lower four-year graduation rates, ranging from 10.7% to 32.1% over the past five years, and much higher dropout rates, ranging from 10.2% to 35.7% during the same period.

Despite spending more per student than the nearby public schools, such as Flowing Wells High School and Canyon Del Oro High School, EDGE High School - Northwest has not been able to improve its academic outcomes or graduation rates over the years. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, and its statewide ranking has steadily declined, dropping from 196 out of 416 Arizona high schools in 2016-2017 to 368 out of 469 in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school's educational approach and resource allocation may not be effectively serving the needs of its diverse student population.

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.

Open Quote Very dark environment. Poor teaching, poor leadership. Imagine sitting in study hall or in a cubicle for 4 hrs. Only the most motivated, independent student will find it possible to complete HS successfully there. Social interactions among students poorly addressed by staff. Close Quote

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.
