Champion Schools

Summary:

Champion Schools is a public charter elementary school serving 485 students in grades K-8 in Phoenix, Arizona, and is part of the Fit Kids Inc. dba Champion Schools District.

Champion Schools has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Certain student subgroups, such as female students, African American students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, perform particularly poorly on state assessments, ranking in the bottom quarter or half of their respective peer groups statewide. However, the school has performed relatively well in serving its homeless student population and English Language Learner (ELL) student population.

The challenges facing Champion Schools may be reflective of broader educational challenges in the local area, as nearby schools in the Roosevelt Elementary District, such as Maxine O Bush Elementary, Valley View School, and C.O. Greenfield School, also perform poorly on state assessments and have low statewide rankings. Addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by the predominantly low-income and minority student population at Champion Schools may be key to driving improvements in the school's performance.

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.

Impact of COVID-19 on Champion Schools

The coronavirus has had a profound impact on education in America. Learning shifted online overnight, attendance numbers dwindled, and enrollment decreased. SchoolDigger.com is making it easier for you to better assess how COVID-19 has impacted your school. Through the collection of pre-pandemic (2019) and current data, SchoolDigger.com is sharing test scores, enrollment numbers and school demographics from schools across the country – and we make it easy to see how impacted schools compare locally and statewide.
