Canyon Rose Academy

Summary:

Canyon Rose Academy is a public charter high school in Tucson, Arizona that serves 175 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Canyon Rose Academy Inc. district, which is ranked 420 out of 540 districts in Arizona and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Canyon Rose Academy faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. It has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (61.14%) and consistently low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 15.9% to 23.1% over the past five years. This is significantly lower than the nearby Sky Islands (83.3%) and Santa Rita High School (77.9%). The school also has high dropout rates, ranging from 18.6% to 28.5%, much higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, Canyon Rose Academy's test scores are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels.

The school's performance, as measured by its statewide school ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, has declined over the past decade, dropping from a ranking of 184 out of 416 Arizona high schools and a 3-star rating in 2016-2017 to a ranking of 371 out of 469 and a 1-star rating in 2022-2023. This decline is in stark contrast to the generally higher-performing nearby schools, such as Sky Islands, Online School of Arizona, and Sonoran Science Academy - Davis Monthan. The challenges faced by Canyon Rose Academy may be attributed to the high percentage of low socioeconomic status and homeless students it serves, as well as fluctuations in funding and resources over the years.

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.
