Future Investment Middle School

Summary:

Future Investment Middle School is a public charter school in Tucson, Arizona, serving 49 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the StrengthBuilding Partners district, which is ranked 250 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools, Future Investment Middle School stands out as having a significantly higher Hispanic student population (81.63%) and lower test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's performance has been inconsistent over the years, ranging from a high of 3 stars in 2016-2017 to a low of 1 star in several years. Notably, the school has experienced relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 6.4%, which is higher than the surrounding Tucson Unified District and Sunnyside Unified District schools.

Another key finding is the dramatic increase in spending per student at Future Investment Middle School, from $4,071 in 2018-2019 to $23,339 in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the surrounding schools. However, it is unclear whether this significant increase in spending has translated into improved student outcomes. The school's performance on various subgroups, such as female students, male students, African American students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learners, has been consistently lower than the state and district averages, suggesting that the school may need to focus on addressing the unique needs of these student populations.

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.
