Apache Trail High School

Summary:

Apache Trail High School is a public charter high school located in Apache Junction, Arizona, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 191 students. The school's student body is predominantly White (52.88%) and Hispanic (37.7%), with a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, as 60.21% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite serving this community, Apache Trail High School consistently underperforms academically, ranking in the bottom 25% of Arizona high schools with a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly below state averages across various assessments, with only 4% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Science compared to the state average of 22%. Additionally, the school has struggled with low graduation rates, ranging from 26.9% to 37% in recent years, and high dropout rates, ranging from 16.2% to 26.2%, well above state averages.

In comparison, nearby schools like Desert Ridge High, located approximately 4.67 miles away, have significantly higher academic performance, with a statewide ranking in the top 35% of Arizona high schools and much higher test scores and graduation rates. The data also suggests that certain subgroups at Apache Trail High School, such as Native American and homeless students, perform relatively better compared to the school's overall low performance. However, the school's academic challenges appear to be persistent and potentially worsening, with a concerning declining trend over the past decade.

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.
