International Commerce High School - Phoenix

Summary:

International Commerce High School - Phoenix is a public charter high school serving around 200 students in grades 9-12 in Phoenix, Arizona. Unfortunately, this school has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom half of Arizona high schools over the past 5 years and earning a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low performance compared to other schools in the state.

The school's challenges are evident across several key metrics. Its 4-year graduation rate has declined from 49.6% in 2018-2019 to just 54.5% in 2022-2023, significantly lower than the state average and the graduation rates of nearby schools like Phoenix College Preparatory Academy (93.6%) and North High School (76.1%). Correspondingly, the school has seen high dropout rates, ranging from 14.5% to 29% over the past 5 years, much higher than nearby schools like Girls Leadership Academy of Arizona (2.7%) and Phoenix Coding Academy (0.2%).

International Commerce High School - Phoenix's academic struggles are further reflected in its low proficiency rates, with only 3-8% of 11th graders proficient in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, compared to state averages of 32-40%. The school also has a predominantly minority student population, with 76.5-77.2% Hispanic and 8.1-12% African American students, in contrast with nearby charter schools like Phoenix Coding Academy that have more diverse student bodies. While the school spends around $9,900 per student, which is higher than the state average, it still underperforms compared to both nearby charter and district-run schools, suggesting that the challenges at International Commerce High School - Phoenix are systemic and require a comprehensive approach to address.

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.
