Skyline D5

Summary:

Skyline D5 is a public charter high school located in Bapchule, Arizona, serving grades 5-12 with a total enrollment of 236 students, the majority (93.22%) of whom are Native American.

Skyline D5 faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools such as Hamilton High School, Basha High School, and Arizona College Prep High School. The school consistently performs below state and district averages in standardized test scores, with only 7% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 3% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 40% and 32%, respectively. Skyline D5's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated significantly, ranging from a high of 91.6% in 2018-2019 to a low of 29.4% in 2020-2021, and it has a relatively high dropout rate, ranging from 2.8% to 6.6% in recent years.

The high percentage of Native American students at Skyline D5 highlights the unique challenges and barriers this population may face in accessing quality education. Factors such as cultural differences, language barriers, and socioeconomic disadvantages may contribute to the school's struggles. Despite the school's current challenges, there may be opportunities for Skyline D5 to improve its performance and better serve its student population, such as through targeted interventions, community engagement, and collaboration with higher-performing schools in the Chandler Unified District #80.

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.
