Somerset Academy Skyway Campus

Summary:

Somerset Academy Skyway Campus is a public charter elementary school serving 161 students in grades K-8 in Goodyear, Arizona, part of the Avondale Elementary District.

The school has seen fluctuations in its academic performance, ranking 534 out of 1,245 elementary schools in 2022-2023 but dropping to 899 out of 1,226 in 2020-2021. While the school's proficiency rates are above the state average in some areas, such as 5th grade science and 4th grade English Language Arts, it underperforms the state in most other grades and subjects, particularly for Hispanic students and students with special needs. The school's demographic composition is notable, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (58.39%) compared to the state and district, and a lower percentage of African American students (3.73%) compared to nearby Avondale Elementary District schools.

Interestingly, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 19.88% in 2021-2022 to 60.87% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. While some nearby charter schools, such as BASIS Goodyear Primary, demonstrate strong academic performance, the public schools in the Avondale Elementary District generally have lower rankings and test scores compared to the state averages, suggesting an uneven educational landscape in the Goodyear area.

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.
