Academy Del Sol

Summary:

Academy Del Sol is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Tucson, Arizona, with a student population of 207. The school is part of the Academy Del Sol Inc. district, which is ranked 358 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

While Academy Del Sol has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (72.95%) compared to the state average (41%), its test scores are generally lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, only 12-34% of Academy Del Sol students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 37-45%. Additionally, the school has experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 7.3% in 2019-2020 to 23.3% in 2021-2022, which are significantly higher than the state average. Academy Del Sol also has a very high percentage of students (81.16% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Centennial Elementary School, which is 1.83 miles away, Academy Del Sol generally performs worse on standardized tests and has lower rankings. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking highly (top 5%) for African American students but much lower (bottom 20%) for Hispanic, White, and low-socioeconomic status students. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the years, from a high of 5 stars out of 5 in 2009-2010 to just 1 star out of 5 in the most recent school year, suggesting a concerning trend of declining academic performance.

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.
