Westland School

Summary:

Westland School is an alternative public charter school located in Phoenix, Arizona, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 216 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is predominantly Hispanic.

Westland School has seen significant fluctuations in its four-year graduation rates, ranging from a low of 50.0% in 2020-2021 to a high of 93.3% in 2021-2022. However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in its dropout rates, rising from 0.0% in 2018-2019 to 13.4% in the current 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby Westland School Brighton Campus. Academically, Westland School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are consistently lower than the state and Cholla Academy averages across all grade levels.

When comparing Westland School to other nearby schools, such as Highland Prep West, an interesting pattern emerges. Highland Prep West, a charter school in a different district, has lower free and reduced lunch rates and higher academic performance compared to Westland School. This suggests that the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Westland School, reaching 83.8% in the current school year, may be contributing to the academic challenges observed at the school. Addressing these socioeconomic factors and implementing targeted interventions to support student success should be a priority for Westland School and the Cholla Academy district.

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.
