Nosotros Academy

Summary:

Nosotros Academy is an alternative public charter school in Tucson, Arizona, serving 305 students in grades K-12. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student body, with 89.84% of students identifying as Hispanic in the 2022-2023 school year. Compared to nearby schools, Nosotros Academy has faced significant challenges, including lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and lower student performance on standardized tests.

Nosotros Academy's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated widely, ranging from a low of 26.1% in 2018-2019 to a high of 65.7% in 2021-2022, which is notably lower than the 94.4% four-year graduation rate at Presidio School. The school's dropout rates have also been consistently higher, ranging from 11.1% to 19.3% over the past few years, compared to 0.0% at Academy of Math and Science and Presidio School. Additionally, Nosotros Academy's student performance on standardized tests, such as AzSCI/Science and AASA/English Language Arts and Mathematics, is consistently lower than the state and district averages.

Nosotros Academy also stands out for its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 92.79% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the 59.68% rate at Presidio School. The school has also seen a steady decline in the percentage of White students, from 10.09% in 2020-2021 to 6.23% in 2022-2023, while the percentage of Hispanic students has increased from 84.65% to 89.84% during the same period. These demographic shifts, combined with the school's financial and academic challenges, suggest that Nosotros Academy may face unique obstacles in supporting its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
