Self Development Online Academy

Summary:

Self Development Online Academy is a public charter virtual elementary school located in Mesa, Arizona, serving students from kindergarten to 8th grade with a total enrollment of 27 students as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Self Development Charter School District, which is ranked 93 out of 540 districts in Arizona and has a 4-star rating.

While Self Development Online Academy's overall academic performance is below the state and district averages, there are some bright spots. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's 8th-grade students achieved 50% proficiency in both English Language Arts and Science, outperforming the state averages. Additionally, the school's female students and male students have performed well, ranking in the top 25% and top 17% of Arizona elementary schools, respectively, in the 2021-2022 school year. However, the school's Asian students ranked in the bottom 11% of Arizona elementary schools in the same year, suggesting significant disparities in academic performance among different racial groups.

Interestingly, Self Development Online Academy is part of the same district as the higher-performing Self Development Charter School, which ranked in the top 3% of Arizona elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests that the online model may be a factor in the lower academic performance of Self Development Online Academy compared to its brick-and-mortar counterpart. Additionally, the school's higher spending per student, at $21,258 per student in the 2021-2022 school year, compared to the nearby traditional public schools, which ranged from $6,706 to $10,864 per student, may indicate the challenges and additional resources required to operate a successful virtual school.

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.
