Harvest Preparatory Academy

Summary:

Harvest Preparatory Academy is an alternative public charter school located in Yuma, Arizona, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 1,039 students. The school is part of the Harvest Power Community Development Group Inc. district, which is ranked 244 out of 288 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harvest Preparatory Academy has maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 90.7% to 100% over the past five school years, which is significantly better than the district and state averages. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were significantly below the state averages, with some grades performing as low as 7-10% proficient. The school's science proficiency rates were also low, ranging from 7% to 19% proficient in 2022-2023.

Harvest Preparatory Academy has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.94% to 80.98% in the past two school years, suggesting that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. While the school's consistently high graduation rates are a positive indicator, the significant academic performance challenges may require targeted interventions and support programs to address the specific learning needs of the student population, particularly in the areas of English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

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.
