Mountain Rose Academy

Summary:

Mountain Rose Academy is a public charter high school located in Tucson, Arizona, serving around 190 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Pima County JTED district, which is ranked 441 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its diverse student population, Mountain Rose Academy has struggled significantly in key areas. The school's 4-year graduation rate is only 39%, well below the state average of around 80%, and its dropout rate has reached as high as 27.7%, more than double the state average. Academically, the school's performance is also concerning, with only 13% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 40% statewide, and just 4% proficient in math, compared to 32% across Arizona. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Arizona high schools for White, Female, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Comparing Mountain Rose Academy to nearby high schools, such as Mountain View High School and Sentinel Peak High School, highlights the stark differences in academic performance and outcomes. These neighboring schools, while not top-performing, still significantly outpace Mountain Rose Academy in key metrics like graduation rates and test scores. The data suggests that Mountain Rose Academy faces significant challenges in supporting its students' academic and personal success, and the school may need to re-evaluate its educational approach and resource allocation to better serve its community.

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.
