International Commerce High School - Tempe

Summary:

International Commerce High School - Tempe is a public charter high school in Tempe, Arizona, serving 253 students in grades 9-12. 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.

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.
