Ombudsman - Charter Northwest

Summary:

Ombudsman - Charter Northwest is a small public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Peoria, Arizona, with a student population of just 142 students. However, this school has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom 20% of Arizona high schools over the past 5 years and receiving a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low performance.

The school's academic challenges are evident across several key metrics. It has had very low 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 21.0% to 34.0% over the past 5 years, and high dropout rates between 10.0% and 28.4% during the same period. Proficiency rates on state assessments like AzSCI, AASA, and ACT are also significantly below state and district averages, with only 3-7% of 11th-grade students demonstrating proficiency in Math, ELA, and Science in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to state averages of 32-40%. The school's struggles extend across various student subgroups, with rankings for African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students all in the bottom 25% of Arizona high schools.

In comparison, the nearby traditional public high schools in the Peoria Unified School District, such as Raymond S. Kellis and Centennial High School, have much higher graduation rates (over 90%), lower dropout rates (under 3%), and better academic performance on state assessments. These nearby schools also have more diverse student populations, with higher percentages of African American, Asian, and multi-racial students, in contrast to Ombudsman - Charter Northwest's predominantly Hispanic and White student body.

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.
