AmeriSchools Academy - Camelback

Summary:

AmeriSchools Academy - Camelback is a public charter school in Phoenix, Arizona that serves 104 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, with a diverse student population that is predominantly Hispanic and African American.

While the school has maintained an impressive 0% dropout rate for the past four years, its academic performance lags behind state and district averages. Test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are below the benchmarks, and the school serves a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 65.38% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's racial diversity is notable, with a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students compared to nearby schools like Westland School and Sonoran Science Academy - Phoenix.

Despite the academic challenges, AmeriSchools Academy - Camelback has seen an increase in its per-student spending, reaching $12,201 in the 2021-2022 school year, which is higher than the spending at some of the surrounding schools in the Cholla Academy and Daisy Education Corporation dba Sonoran Science Ac districts. The school's commitment to maintaining a low dropout rate is a notable achievement, and further investigation into the factors contributing to the academic underperformance and the unique needs of the economically disadvantaged student population could help the school address these challenges and improve outcomes for its diverse learners.

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.
