Ombudsman - Charter Metro

Summary:

Ombudsman - Charter Metro is a public charter high school located in Glendale, Arizona, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 232 students. Despite being part of the Ombudsman Educational Services Ltd. district, which is ranked 495 out of 540 districts in Arizona and has a 0-star rating, the school itself has consistently underperformed academically compared to its peers.

Ombudsman - Charter Metro has struggled with low academic performance, ranking in the bottom 20-25% of Arizona high schools over the past 10 years, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below state and district averages. For example, in 2022-2023, only 2-5% of 11th-grade students were proficient in science, English language arts, and math, compared to state averages of 22-40%. The school's four-year graduation rates have ranged from 12.5% to 27.8% in recent years, much lower than the state and district averages, and it has had high dropout rates ranging from 13.6% to 30.6%. In comparison, nearby schools like Cortez High School, Glenview College Preparatory High School, and North Pointe Preparatory have significantly higher test scores, graduation rates, and overall state rankings.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and English language learners at Ombudsman - Charter Metro, as well as its low funding (around $5,400 per student) compared to the Glendale Union High School District average, may contribute to the school's academic struggles. Despite being in operation for over a decade, Ombudsman - Charter Metro has not shown significant improvement in its performance, and its diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic and African American enrollment, suggests the need for targeted support and resources to address the specific needs of this community.

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.
