Arizona K-8 Online Academy

Summary:

Arizona K-8 Online Academy is a small public virtual elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Alhambra Elementary District in Phoenix, Arizona. With just 112 students, the school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (73.21%), along with smaller percentages of White, African American, and Native American students.

Despite its small size, Arizona K-8 Online Academy faces significant challenges. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 15% of Arizona elementary schools, with a statewide ranking of 1054 out of 1245 schools in 2022-2023. Its performance on state assessments is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school has an alarmingly high dropout rate of 36.6% for the 2021-2022 school year, which is much higher than the state average. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2, it also spends less per student ($6,030 in 2021-2022) compared to nearby traditional public schools.

The data suggests that the virtual learning model may not be effectively serving the needs of the student population in this area. When compared to nearby traditional public schools in the Alhambra Elementary District, such as James W. Rice Elementary School and Cordova Elementary School, Arizona K-8 Online Academy consistently performs worse on state assessments, has a higher dropout rate, and spends less per student. This raises concerns about equity and access to quality education, as the school's student population is predominantly Hispanic and low-income.

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.
