Sage Academy

Summary:

Sage Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Phoenix, Arizona, with a student population of 114. The school is part of the Twenty First Century Charter School Inc. Bennett district, which is ranked 232 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sage Academy has a more diverse student population compared to the surrounding schools, with a higher percentage of African American (21.05%) and Hispanic (33.33%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessment scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2022-2023, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 29% to 40%, compared to the state average of 37% to 45%. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates ranged from 9% to 50%, compared to the state average of 27% to 43%. Additionally, Sage Academy has experienced a high dropout rate in recent years, with a 26.3% dropout rate in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average.

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.

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.
