The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (64.43%), with smaller percentages of White (13.04%), Native American (6.32%), and African American (9.49%) students.
Despite being a charter school, International Commerce High School - Tempe has consistently underperformed academically compared to both state averages and nearby charter schools like James Madison Preparatory School, Valley Preparatory Academy, and New School for the Arts. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state averages, with only 6% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 10% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 40% and 32%, respectively. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has been low, ranging from 40.1% to 65.0% over the past five years, which is much lower than the state average.
The school's funding and spending per student, ranging from $6,979 to $8,348 over the past three years, is lower than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. Furthermore, the school's demographic composition has shifted over the past three years, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of African American students, which may have implications for the school's academic and social-emotional support needs.
