Metropolitan Arts Institute

Summary:

Metropolitan Arts Institute is a public charter high school located in Phoenix, Arizona, serving grades 7-12 with an enrollment of around 250 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is more balanced compared to nearby schools.

Metropolitan Arts Institute consistently outperforms the state and its district, Metropolitan Arts Institute Inc., in several key academic areas. The school's science proficiency rate is more than double the state average, and its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates range from 46-68% compared to 37-42% statewide. However, the school's performance in Mathematics is more mixed, with 11th-grade students scoring below the state average. Notably, the school's graduation rates are exceptionally high, ranging from 94.0% to 100.0% over the past five years, and its dropout rates are much lower than the state average.

While Metropolitan Arts Institute's overall performance is strong, its subgroup data reveals some interesting findings. The school's performance is particularly impressive for African American and Native American students, who rank in the top 41 and 54 out of Arizona high schools, respectively. However, the school's performance for Asian and Hispanic students is more mixed, suggesting a need to further investigate and address any achievement gaps. Additionally, the school's relatively low spending per student compared to some nearby schools, such as Franklin Police and Fire High School and Arizona School for the Arts, raises questions about the adequacy of resources and whether the school is able to maintain its high performance with limited funding.

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.
