Kaizen Education Foundation dba South Pointe Elementary School

Summary:

Kaizen Education Foundation dba South Pointe Elementary School is a public charter elementary school in Phoenix, Arizona, serving 293 students in grades K-6. The school has a predominantly African American (45.05%) and Hispanic (44.37%) student population, with a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite the school's efforts, Kaizen Education Foundation dba South Pointe Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Arizona elementary schools, with significantly below-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, students with disabilities, and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, is particularly concerning, with the school ranking in the bottom 5% to 10% of Arizona elementary schools in these categories. Nearby schools, such as Cloves C Campbell Senior Elementary School, George Gervin Prep Academy, and Irene Lopez School, generally perform better than Kaizen Education Foundation dba South Pointe Elementary School, suggesting that the challenges faced by the school are not solely due to its student demographics.

The school's per-student spending has increased over the years, but it is still below the state average and may not be sufficient to address the significant academic challenges the school faces. Additionally, the school's performance has remained consistently low over the past decade, with little to no improvement in its statewide rankings or academic proficiency rates. This lack of progress is concerning and suggests that the school may be struggling to effectively address the educational needs of its students, which could be influenced by factors such as the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, the school's charter status, and its placement within the Kaizen Education Foundation dba South Pointe Eleme District, which is also low-performing.

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.
