While Vista College Preparatory - Hadley was once ranked highly among Arizona elementary schools, its performance has declined in recent years. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 165th out of 1,106 schools in 2016-2017 to 525th out of 904 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has fallen from 4 stars to just 2 stars.

Vista College Preparatory - Hadley's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state and Vista College Preparatory Inc. district averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students performing particularly poorly on state assessments. However, the school's Low Socioeconomic Status students have performed relatively better, suggesting that the school may be able to leverage its strategies for this subgroup to improve outcomes for other underperforming groups. The high percentage of low-income students at Vista College Preparatory - Hadley, as well as the nearby schools, indicates that the local community faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student learning and academic achievement.

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.
