When compared to the nearby schools, such as Bennett Academy - Venture Site, Abraham Lincoln Traditional School, and Cactus Wren Elementary School, Sage Academy generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, it serves a more diverse student population and a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to the academic challenges. To improve student outcomes, the school may need to focus on addressing equity and inclusion, providing targeted interventions and support, and exploring ways to address the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student success.
