Champion San Tan

Summary:

Champion San Tan is a public charter elementary school serving 413 students in grades K-8 in San Tan Valley, Arizona. While the school has some bright spots, it faces significant challenges, with a statewide ranking in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Champion San Tan's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups. The school performs relatively well for its Special Education students, ranking 278 out of 820 in 2022-2023. However, it struggles with its African American, Hispanic, and White student populations, ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of Arizona schools for these groups. The school's test scores are generally below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 33% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 39%. Additionally, Champion San Tan has experienced relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0.7% to 6.7% over the past several years, which is higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, Champion San Tan generally underperforms. For example, Legacy Traditional-San Tan, Schnepf Elementary, and American Leadership Academy San Tan Valley K-6 all outperform Champion San Tan on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings. Despite these challenges, the school's relatively strong performance for Special Education students suggests that there may be opportunities to apply successful strategies from that subgroup to other areas of the school.

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.
