Vista College Prep Sueno Park

Summary:

Vista College Prep Sueno Park is a public charter middle school serving grades 5-8 in Phoenix, Arizona, with a student population of 498. The school is part of the Vista College Preparatory Inc. district, which is ranked 241 out of 288 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Vista College Prep Sueno Park consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across all grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 16% to 29% in ELA and below the state average in science as well. The school has also consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona middle schools, with an overall 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with White students performing relatively better, other subgroups like African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students perform significantly worse. Additionally, the school has a relatively high dropout rate of 7.2% in the 2019-2020 school year, which is higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Estrella Middle School, Maricopa Institute of Technology (MIT), and Imagine Desert West Middle, also perform poorly compared to the state average, with low proficiency rates and low statewide rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Vista College Prep Sueno Park may be common in the local area, which is served by districts such as Cartwright Elementary District and Imagine Desert West Middle Inc.

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.
