East Valley High School

Summary:

East Valley High School is a public charter high school located in Mesa, Arizona, serving grades 9-12 with a relatively small student population of 155 as of the 2022-2023 school year. Despite its diverse student body, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Arizona high schools, performing significantly below state and district averages across various metrics.

Key insights about East Valley High School include its consistently low statewide ranking, between 354-375 out of 469 high schools, placing it in the bottom 25% in Arizona. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with multi-racial and special education students performing relatively well, while female, Hispanic, and White students have performed poorly, ranking in the bottom 20-25% of high schools. Additionally, the school has seen a significant decline in its four-year graduation rate, dropping from 83.6% in 2020-2021 to 64.3% in 2022-2023, and a corresponding increase in its dropout rate from 1.6% to 20.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Great Hearts Academies - Arete Prep, Skyline High School, Highland High School, and Desert Ridge High, East Valley High School significantly underperforms across various metrics, including academic achievement, graduation rates, and student demographics. This suggests that the school may not be effectively utilizing its resources, which are higher than the state average, to support student learning and success, and raises concerns about equity and the school's ability to provide a high-quality education for all students.

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.
