TIA West

Summary:

TIA West is an alternative public charter school in Tucson, Arizona, serving 125 students in grades K-12. The school has a diverse student population, with the majority being Hispanic (84%).

TIA West stands out for its exceptional academic performance. The school has maintained a 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for the past 5 years, significantly outperforming the state average. In academic proficiency, TIA West outshines its district, Tucson International Academy Inc., with higher percentages of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts (40% vs. 31%) and Mathematics (20% vs. 15%). However, the school lags behind some nearby alternative schools, such as Amphi Academy Online and Presidio School, in terms of test scores and graduation rates.

Another notable aspect of TIA West is its high level of spending per student, which has increased from $12,519 in 2019-2020 to $43,771 in 2021-2022. This significant investment may contribute to the school's strong performance, particularly in areas like graduation and dropout rates. However, the school's student-teacher ratio is not provided, making it difficult to assess how this factor may impact the school's success.

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.
