Self Development Academy-Phoenix

Summary:

Self Development Academy-Phoenix is a public charter elementary school serving 303 students in grades K-8 in Phoenix, Arizona. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students (59.08%), followed by Native American (17.49%), African American (12.21%), and White (6.93%) students.

Self Development Academy-Phoenix has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate over the years, ranging from 356 out of 904 Arizona elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 744 out of 1226 in 2020-2021. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally below the state average across grade levels and subject areas. However, the school has shown some strengths, such as outperforming the state average in 3rd and 4th grade mathematics in recent years. Compared to nearby schools, Self Development Academy-Phoenix generally performs better than the lower-ranked Creighton Elementary District schools but lags behind the higher-performing Augustus H. Shaw Montessori and Phoenix Modern schools.

One of the key challenges facing Self Development Academy-Phoenix is the high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 86.8% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. This is higher than the nearby Creighton Elementary District schools and the more affluent Augustus H. Shaw Montessori. Despite these challenges, the school has shown strong performance among its African American, Native American, and English Language Learner student subgroups, indicating the school may be effectively serving these populations.

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.
